Overview

This McConaghy MC75 (JACK) was the winner of the multihull class in the 2024 ARC Transatlantic 3,135 nm race. The epic journey started in Gran Canaria and finished in Saint Lucia where JACK crossed the finish line 1st. The McConaghy 75 (MC75) is a lightweight, eco-friendly luxury performance cruising catamaran. The progressive design features an appealing flybridge extending aft creating a sweeping, sleek look. Performing with effortless grace even in light airs, the MC75 provides smooth sailing prowess with stability and enviable speed. Weighing half the weight of many of her contemporaries, she can sail in sub 10 knots but in 20 knots of wind with a code zero flying the MC75 is predicted to reach 21 knots of boat speed. The MC75 features a large saloon lounge with a dining area and walk-around bar, a spacious aft deck with sofas and al fresco dining space, and cushioned foredeck area. The sophisticated environment offers a fantastic visual connection with the sea. Fully retractable sliding side windows and floor-to-ceiling glass create the perception of freedom, with an infinite amount of visual space and an enhanced, symbiotic relationship between inside and out. Within, internal volume has been maximized and every space configured with distinct purpose in a layout that dispels all preconceptions of yacht interiors.
