McConaghy 38
You want a whole new level of high performance one design yacht racing? Check out the McConaghy 38 ($248,000). America’s Cup super vet Harry Dunning doesn’t disappoint in this latest debut of his design skills. Just because the MC38 is perfect for club races around the cans doesn’t mean it’s a one show pony. Drop the removable carbon keel-fin, stick her in a container, and you’ve got an international thoroughbred. Don’t get us wrong, we love development classes and all the innovation that they bring, but McConaghy is enforcing uber-strict class rules, saving boat owners from an expensive, man-unit measuring, arms race with the “mine’s-bigger-than-yours” trust fund baby found in every yacht club. The MC38, cutting tools down to size since 2012.
