Every Cure begins long before the first layer of carbon is laid.

It begins with over fifty years of experience building some of the world's most advanced racing yachts, superyachts and composite engineering projects. From America's Cup campaigns and Sydney to Hobart winners to pioneering carbon structures and specialist engineering, every Cure benefits from the same relentless pursuit of performance, precision and craftsmanship.

A Legacy of Innovation

McConaghy has never stood still.

For more than five decades the company has continually challenged conventional thinking, developing new manufacturing techniques, refining composite engineering and building vessels that redefine what is possible on the water.

Every project has contributed to the knowledge, capability and craftsmanship that today underpins every Cure catamaran.

Our Journey

Five decades of milestones.

The Beginning
1967

The Beginning

McConaghy were one of the first to apply prepreg carbon to sailing boat construction. Built using materials previously only seen in aerospace applications, McConaghy’s first 18ft prepreg carbon skiff was a revelation that would set a performance benchmark for years to come.

That same knowledge, experience and craftsmanship now form the foundation of every Cure catamaran.

Composite Excellence

Performance begins long before launch day.

Carbon fibre resin infusion and vacuum bagging

Every Cure is built using advanced composite manufacturing techniques refined across decades of grand prix racing and specialist engineering. From precision mould preparation and resin infusion to structural engineering and rigorous quality control, every stage of construction is designed to produce a lighter, stronger and more efficient yacht.

The result is more than lower weight. It is greater structural stiffness, improved sailing efficiency, reduced loads throughout the yacht and exceptional long-term durability.

Precision Engineering

Every detail matters.

Performance is rarely determined by one major breakthrough. It is the result of thousands of carefully considered decisions.

Engineering, tooling, structural analysis, weight management, systems integration and manufacturing precision all work together to create yachts that perform exactly as intended. It is this philosophy that continues to distinguish McConaghy throughout the marine industry.

People Behind the Performance

Experience is built into every Cure.

Behind every Cure is a team of naval architects, composite engineers, boatbuilders, rigging specialists and craftsmen who share a common pursuit of excellence.

Their combined experience spans racing yachts, superyachts, power catamarans, foiling craft and some of the world's most technically demanding composite projects.

Capability Without Boundaries

Expertise that travels beyond the traditional boatyard.

McConaghy's capability has been developed across an unusually broad range of marine projects.

From high-performance racing yachts and America's Cup campaigns to superyachts, offshore multihulls, foiling craft, advanced carbon spars and deep-sea exploration, each project has demanded a different combination of materials, engineering and manufacturing expertise.

That breadth matters.

Because when you're building a performance cruising catamaran, the answer to a complex problem doesn't always come from conventional boatbuilding.

Sometimes it comes from racing.

Sometimes from aerospace-style composite engineering.

Sometimes from structural engineering, advanced manufacturing or the development of entirely new marine technologies.

That is the advantage of having all of those capabilities within the McConaghy Group.

Why This Matters

Every Cure benefits from five decades of engineering excellence.

Choosing a yacht is about far more than selecting a design. It's about trusting the people who build it.

Every Cure is constructed using the same composite expertise, engineering discipline and manufacturing capability developed across some of the world's most demanding marine projects. That experience is built into every hull, every structural component and every system from the very beginning.

Because exceptional performance isn't added at the end of the build. It's engineered into every layer.
