New McConaghy Hoek Classic 57 and 67

The new McConaghy Classic 57 and the McConaghy Classic 67 are stunning looking new yachts from the Australian boatbuilder that are said to combine the classic styling of Hoek Design with the benefits of a cutting-edge performance cruiser.

The high-tech semi-production yachts, with a level of customisation and owner involvement to ensure each is unique, will be built at McConaghy's state-of-the-art race-yacht facilities near Hong Kong.

Andre Hoek, from the Dutch designer-yacht yard, commented: "I visited the McConaghy yard last year and was impressed by the quality of their composite work and experience in series production and robot systems. We then immediately initiated discussions on a range of hi-tech composite production yachts starting around 60 feet with an aim to develop Composite Superyachts as well."

"We are delighted to work together on these special craft with an experienced team of people on both sides of the globe and being able to serve both the European and Asian markets."

The composite hulls will employ carbon for structural reinforcement, carbon will also feature in items including the clear coat carbon wheel, pedestal and deck features.

Hoek Design hallmarks are evident in both yachts including long overhangs, attractive sheer, an open bulwark, a counter stern and low profile superstructure with wraparound windows.

Hoek Design has optimised the hull for fast cruising with a modern keel fin and bulb. In addition, the boat will feature optimised foils to bring an extra element of performance.

The yachts will be outfit with carbon rigs and both sailplans employ self-tacking jibs for ease of handling.

The interior will be a fusion of classic styling with modern equipment and outfitting. All joinery will be built and finished to McConaghy's high quality standards. The interior is to be constructed using a mix of painted surfaces with timber laminate and soft fabric liners tailored to the client’s requirements.

McConaghy Classic 57
The 57ft design has been developed for short-handed performance sailing with a relative large and open interior for its size and optimised performance.

The 57 has been designed to maintain full standing headroom right forward in her accommodation while keeping the foredeck flush.

Accommodation comprises a big owner’s double right forward with its own head, a large amidships saloon and two double aft cabins.

McConaghy Classic 67
This boat has also been optimised for short-handed performance sailing, while offering a spacious and open interior.

In addition to the forward master cabin, and two aft guest cabins, the 67 also has room for a single berth crew cabin right forward.
