Makara 85

Benefitting from the full scope of McConaghy’s experience in the build of high-performance carbon fibre race boats, the Makara is a lightweight luxury yacht series, which brings the superyacht lifestyle to the racecourse in a way never seen before.​

Constructed using prepreg carbon and structural foam cores, the 25.9m model has a lightship displacement of just 48 tonnes. The rig package for the Makara series has been specified by Southern Spars and a client can hone their racing and cruising preferences with the optional additions of a bowsprit and a lifting keel.

The sail plan for the Makara 85 features a 189sq.m mainsail and a 149sq.m blade. The mainsheet trim comes with push-button functionality, thanks to an in-boom hydraulic ram and a hydraulic press system serving the blade. This level of control offered to the helmsman brings single-handed sailing capability to the yachting mass-market place in an incredibly beautiful package.

Advanced systems and sail handling technology deliver push-button performance with effortless ease, and confident blue water cruising even for a solo sailor.​
