After years of competing at the very top level we know the details that matter.
Mackay boats have won 30 medals at Olympic Games and 140 World Championship medals.
Our boats are
- built with precise processes to exacting standards.
- built stiff and strong, with the weight and strength where it is needed to make the boat as fast as possible.
- fitted out with systems that work, customised to suit the sailors own preferences.
- equipped with the best fittings used for each system.
- built using strict quality control processes to ensure boats are built consistently and each boat is the very best possible.
- finished with details that don’t just look good, but make a difference to performance.
- matched with foils designed and built using the latest technology alongside years of experience.
At Mackay Boats every manufacturing and design decision is analysed using the criteria “will it make the boat go faster?”
