3 We are pleased to provide this presentation on our range of high performance cruising catamarans. This range has been designed using a group of experienced owners and sailors (who between them have spent decades sailing and cruising multihulls), a highly experienced design and engineering team, and McConaghy s 50 years of building yachts for the most demanding customers and conditions. McConaghy s capabilities represent: five decades of organisational strength; delivering leading-edge composite applications; industry leading and manufacturing facilities the financial and strategic strength of Tiger Group Investments. Intro With a strong history, a legacy of yacht building excellence proven across multiple product ranges, and an experienced award winning design team, McConaghy presents an attractive option for clients wishing to build the next generation of high performance cruising catamarans. We look forward to working with you. Regards Mark Evans Managing Director James Kinloch Sales 03

4 McConaghy Experience Whether it s building the world s fastest racing yachts, a performance luxury yacht, a submarine to explore the Mariana Trench, components for Formula One racing teams, or developing solutions for architects, scientists and defence organisations, McConaghy has a proven track record of delivering on complex composite projects. McConaghy boats was founded by John McConaghy in 1967, and since then has expanded to include manufacturing bases in Australia and China. Mc-Conaghy deploys its wealth of talent across a number of different divisions (now including McConaghy Multihulls), extending the strong commercial platform that has allowed it to defy industry trends and continue to thrive even in the toughest economic conditions. The company was further strengthened in early 2014 with the signing of an investment agreement with Hong Kong based Tiger Group Investments, a prominent commercial marine company led by keen yachtsman Graham Porter. The new partnership with Tiger Group provides capital for further investment in state of the art facilities, machinery and equipment at McConaghy s operations in China and Sydney. McConaghy is privately owned by Mark Evans and Tiger Group Investments and has no debt, and owns all of its equipment. The company currently employs 300+ staff and operates from facilities in Australia and China. 04

5 Adastra, the 42.5m Tri-maran was built in 2008 by our team in China, aimed to become the most economic SuperYacht in the world. One of the world s most amazing super yachts, that could spell the future for efficient long range cruising Boat International 05

6 Consistently at the forefront of composite technology McConaghy were one of the builders in the world to apply prepreg carbon to sailing boat construction in the mid 1970 s. Built from materials previously only used in aerospace applications, the prepreg carbon 18ft skiff, built by McConaghy, was a revelation and would set a performance benchmark for years to come. Customers and designers were soon demanding this performance in bigger and bigger yachts. The prepreg nomex cored maxi yacht was constructed by McConaghy Boats in 1987, engineered by Giovanni Belgrano and SP Systems, this yacht was the largest composite structure in the world at that time, outside of the US Space program. McConaghy have been researching, testing and perfecting the techniques and processes required to build high strength durable and the lightest weight possible composite structures for over 40 years. McConaghy have developed and continued to techniques for ensuring bonding between honeycomb cores (both Kevlar and Nomex) and carbon skins are robust and reliable. McConaghy have developed techniques for thermoforming Kevlar and nomex honeycomb cores as well as Corecell foams in house, ensuring that engineers can specify the best properties in the most challenging geometry. Many challenges that other yards are still discovering when using prepregs and nomex material are challenges McConaghy overcame decades ago. The fact that so many of our successful maxi yachts have performed faultlessly for decades contrasts with the long list of known and lesser known failures in the industry. Working closely with designers, engineers, material suppliers and leading industry specialists, McConaghy manages the processes and guarantees the outcomes expected from their customers. This ensures that McConaghy yachts are able to meet the requirements of d resin contents, achieve the designers nominated component weights and geometry tolerances demanded by the world s best designers and structural engineers. Most of McConaghy s manufacturing techniques are proprietary, and remain in-house, and have been developed through extensive testing programs on numerous projects across both facilities in Australia and China. McConaghy have experience with every moulding method and mould material, which can be adapted and optimised to suit each customer s unique requirements. 06

America s Cup World Series AC45 Foils McConaghy Boats is extremely proud of our involvement with the AC45 McConaghy built all of the daggerboards for the AC45s.

7 America s Cup World Series AC45 Foils McConaghy Boats is extremely proud of our involvement with the AC45 McConaghy built all of the daggerboards for the AC45s. McConaghy was challenged with creating the daggerboards, in a very tight turn around time with extreme precision. Using 6-axis robotic milling and giant autoclaves McConaghy built the foils to be light and super strong. Zero failures during the 2 year series. 07
