"Exclusively installed since 1992 at
McConaghy Boats"
I've been around boats all of my life - starting with off-the-beach
racing skiffs and now building some of the largest, most technically
advanced offshore racing yachts in the world.
At McConaghy Boats we regard ourselves as being a world leader in
the use of pre pregs and other composite materials. The advanced
materials and designs have produced absolute legends in the world of
tough, unforgiving ocean racing. Boats such as Silk Cut, Morning
Glory, Exile, Zephyrus, Pegasus and the 2003 Sydney to Hobart line
honours winner Alfa Romeo-Shockwave are just a handful of boats to
have come from our yard.
All of my boats have one more important thing in common - I have
been fitting Yanmar marine diesel engines to McConaghy built boats
on an exclusive basis since 1992. Once I started to use Yanmar I
have never fitted any other brand.
In a racing yacht where power to weight is the absolute ultimate
yardstick, Yanmar delivers on both counts. More and more the Yanmar
main engine is being used to do a lot more than drive the yacht
around the moorings. On Alfa Romeo-Shockwave the Yanmar 125hp engine
also pumps ballast water, moving 6 tonnes of ballast in 13 seconds.
The same engine also drives the hydraulic system.
Yanmar is clearly the best marine diesel - they are the lightest and
are absolutely trouble free. We have never had a warranty claim in
ten years of installing Yanmar engines. With McConaghy boats spread
throughout the world, low warranty and easy access to Yanmar parts
are vitally important to our customers.
I have a Yanmar engine on board my own boat and in 7 years we've
logged up 1800 engine hours. Yanmar not only delivers top
performance for all the McConaghy owners, but Yanmar also delivers
for me.
