Description
Ancasta Race Boats, in collaboration with Emirates Team New Zealand and McConaghy Boats, proudly presents the AC40 – the first opportunity for private owners to access America’s Cup foiling technology and experience the thrill of high-speed foiling performance.
The Opportunity to Fly
The foiling landscape for monohull yachts has transformed dramatically in recent years. The days when foiling was merely a concept or a distant dream are over – foiling is now a reality that is here to stay. It is possible to sail at double or even triple the speed of the wind, and once you experience this exhilarating sensation, there's no turning back!
America's Cup Fleet Racing
A fleet of eight AC40 yachts successfully competed in the inaugural Women's America's Cup, demonstrating the design's efficacy as a high-speed foiling one-design racing yacht.
AC40 One Design Class
ETNZ and McConaghy Boats have received considerable interest for additional AC40 acquisitions, with the aim of establishing a new one-design class and racing events at iconic sailing venues around the world.
