Two sailors are leaning out from a small, fast sailboat with a black sail as it speeds over choppy, dark blue water on a cloudy day. Distant hills and a faint coastline are visible in the background.

Mackay Boats 49er/ FX Production News!!

byTom Sitzmann

From Mackay Boats:
We’re excited to be back in full 49er/49erFX production mode after the Olympic year. This year’s production will include some minor modifications the builders agreed to make after last year’s Lanzarote and Vilamoura meetings. These are:
*some small adjustments to ensure the boats built by both builders are 100% aligned with each other
*the underside of the wings will be strengthened
*small detailing changes to the forestay fasteners to strengthen the area.

Full advantage has also been taken of recent developments in boat hardware, with our 2025 49ers/FX’s boats now fitted out with the latest hardware and with EVA non-skid.

Bring on an exciting 2025 49er / FX regatta season!
