Mackay i420 Boats and Parts to Be Stocked in the U.S., Starting Winter 2025
Annapolis, MD — Sail1Design is excited to announce a new strategic partnership with US One Design to bring Mackay i420 sailboats and class parts directly to the U.S. market, in stock, in the U.S., and ready to support America’s growing i420 fleet. Sail1Design has 4 new boats on order, slated to arrive in the US in late spring. US One-Design will now carry Mackay i420 parts, on hand at upcoming events, starting in just a few weeks with the i420 National Championship on 27 December at Coconut Grove Sailing Center. For i420 sailors in the US, this is great news!
This initiative launches in just a few weeks with i420 parts on-site at major U.S. winter regattas, stocked and supported through the US One Design trailers. As the season progresses, inventory and boat availability will expand to improve access, event support, and long-term fleet success nationwide.
“We are thrilled to offer reliable, domestic access to world-class Mackay equipment,” said Sail1Design and US One Design in a joint statement. “Supporting U.S. sailors with world-level gear they need, where and when they need it, is essential to boosting high-performance development in the i420 class.”
About Mackay Boats
Mackay’s high-performance legacy began in the 1960s with the Flying Dutchman class and has accelerated ever since. During the 1970s, the company built championship-winning offshore powerboats, before transitioning into Olympic dinghy production in the 1990s with the 470 and 49er. In 2020, Mackay launched the cutting-edge Bieker Moth.
Mackay boats lead Olympic and World Championship fleets thanks to continuous innovation and a relentless pursuit of speed. Their mission is to deliver high-performance sailing experiences for every sailor, sustaining the magic, competition, and adventure of being on the water.
Supporting U.S. i420 Growth
We are excited to see more interest in the i420 here in the US. With more American sailors embracing the i420 pathway, this partnership provides the critical equipment access needed to help U.S. athletes compete at the highest levels. No more overseas delays — essential parts and service will now be available for order online and at events and nationwide.
Further updates — including ordering information and expanded event-support plans — will follow soon.
