McConaghy Boats at Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show!

We’re excited to be attending the Sanctuary Cove International Boat Show from 22nd to 25th May, and even more thrilled to have our MC82p on display. This stunning power catamaran blends performance, comfort, and cutting-edge design, and we can’t wait to show you around.

 

We’re also introducing our latest innovation: the Eco Panther Series — a new electric hybrid sailing line available in 48ft, 56ft, and 68ft. These yachts feature composite solar panels seamlessly integrated into the cabin top, side decks, and topsides, generating up to 16kW of clean power. It’s a bold step forward in redefining sustainable sailing.

 

McConaghy will be represented by our trusted dealer Vicsail — be sure to meet the team to learn more about our full range of yachts and innovations.

Created Vicsail in 1983 after coming back from sailing Pacific, it seemed logical to keep sailing and avoid going back to teaching music and singing in bars. An enthusiast in life! Passionate about his work, he loves boats, and he loves to sail. Has a soft for classic boats.

Agata Gorska - Project management

Moved to Sydney in 2018, hoping for a one-year adventure. Introduced to sailing via the Opti and 420. Huge fan of iceboats (popular in Poland). Very easy going and keen to help others. Now managing projects and marketing.
