Intro

We are pleased to provide this presentation on our new range of Ker designed catamarans.

McConaghy and Ker have collaborated for many years on racing and cruising yacht projects. Ker’s experience with BAR Racing (Britain’s America’s Cup race team) have put them at the very leading edge of multihull de-sign, which combined with their undoubted styling ability, made them a natural choice to work with.

McConaghy’s capabilities represent:• fourdecadesoforganisationalstrength;• deliveringleading-edgecompositeapplications;• combinedwithanindustryleadingcoststructure andmanufacturingfacility;• backedbythetechnicalsupportofMcConaghy’s NewZealanddesignoffice;• andthefinancialandstrategicstrengthofTiger Group Investments.

With a strong history, a legacy of yacht building excel-lence, proven production experience across a wide va-riety of products, and an experienced award winning design team, McConaghy presents an attractive option for clients wishing to build the next generation of cruising catamarans.

We look forward to working with you. Regards

McConaghy Experience

Whether it’s building the world’s fastest racing yachts, a performance luxury yacht, a submarine

toexploretheMarianaTrench,componentsforFormulaOne racing teams, or developing solutions for architects, scientists and defence organisations, McConaghy has a proven track record of delivering on complex composite projects.

McConaghy boats was founded by John McCo-naghy in 1967, and since then has expanded

to include manufacturing bases in Australia and China, andadesignofficeinNewZealand.McConaghydeploysits wealth of talent across a number of different divisions (now including McConaghy Multihulls), extending the strong commercial platform that has allowed it to defy in-dustry trends and continue to thrive even in the toughest economic conditions.

The company was further strengthened in early 2014 with

the signing of an investment agreement withHongKongbasedTigerGroupIn-vestments, a prominent commercial ma-rine company led by keen yachtsman Gra-hamPorter.ThenewpartnershipwithTigerGroup provides capital for further investment in state of the art facilities, machinery and equipment at McConaghy’s operations in China and Sydney.

McConaghy is privately owned by Jono Morris, Mark Evans and Tiger Group In-

vestments the group has no debt, and owns all of its equipment.Thecompanycurrentlyemploys200+staffand operates from facilities in Australia, China and New Zealand.

Adastra , the 42.5m Tri-maran was built in 2008 by our team in China, aimed to become the most economic SuperYacht in the world.

Ker Yacht Design

Ker Design has built a formidable internation-al reputation with the considerable success

of its designs on the race-course which stems from a rigorous technical approach that takes full advantage of the most innovative and current technologies and applies them to a diverse range of projects from Americas Cup to luxury crusing yachts.Afundamentalphilosophyoftheofficeisthat all members of the Ker Design team are pas-sionate and capable sailors and that spirit and en-thusiasmflowsthroughallourdesignwork.KerDesign seeks to leverage its technology and skill to provide clients with the best designed yachts possible and strongly believes that it represents the future of advanced yacht design.

Ker Yacht Design uses state-of-the-art technol-

ogy, techniques and process-es throughout the research and design processes, and uses the whole gamut of them. Most of the research work is done in-house, (the size of the “house” increases some-what for very large projects such as Americas Cup), however where a certain speciality skill or knowlege is required, we can rely on a strong network of consultants who include our software suppliers.

McConaghywereoneofthefirstbuildersintheworldtoapplyprepreg carbon to sailing boat construction in the mid 1970’s.

Built from materials previously only used in aerospace applica-tions,thefirstprepregcarbon18ftskiff,builtbyMcConaghy,wasa revelation and would set a performance benchmark for years to come. Customers and designers were soon demanding this performance in bigger and bigger yachts. The first prepregnomex coredmaxi yachtwas constructedbyMcConaghy Boats in 1987, engineered by Giovanni Belgrano and SP Systems, this yacht was the largest composite structure in the world at that time, outside of the US Space program. McConaghy have been researching, testing and perfecting the techniques and processes required to build high strength durable and the lightest weight possible composite structures for over 40 years. McConaghyhavedevelopedandcontinuedtorefinetechniquesfor ensuring bonding between honeycomb cores (both Kevlar and Nomex) and carbon skins are robust and reliable. McConaghy have developed techniques for thermoforming Kevlar and nomex honeycomb cores as well as Corecell foams in house, ensuring that engineers can specify the best properties in the most chal-lenging geometry. Many challenges that other yards are still discovering when using prepregs and nomex material are challenges McConaghy over-came decades ago. Thefact thatsomanyofoursuccessfulmaxiyachtshaveper-formed faultlessly for decades contrasts with the long list of known and lesser known failures in the industry.

Working closely with designers, engineers, material suppliers and leading industry specialists, McConaghy manages the process-es and guarantees the outcomes expected from their custom-ers.Thisensures thatMcConaghyyachtsareable tomeet therequirementsofspecifiedresincontents,achievethedesignersnominated component weights and geometry tolerances de-manded by the world’s best designers and structural engineers. Most of McConaghy’s manufacturing techniques are proprietary, and remain in-house, and have been developed through exten-sive testing programs on numerous projects across both facilities in Australia and China. McConaghy have experience with every moulding method and mould material, which can be adapted and optimised to suit each customer’s unique requirements.

Consistently at the forefront of composite technology
