Built to order, the McConaghy MC 60 takes on some very serious competitors. A competition it faces with its own weapons, starting with its unique style, which is the subject of this fifth and final part.

Sailing aboard the MC60 is without a doubt a special experience. Combining brilliantly a record habitability and world class performances, this catamaran offers new and innovative solutions. Moreover, the fact that it is almost entirely customizable allows the future buyer to create the catamaran of his dreams while benefiting from all the expertise of the shipyard.

The 60-foot multihull category is also becoming increasingly popular, with a wide range of very different boats.

Along the way, it finds boats like the Privilège Signature 580, priced very close to it, the high-performance HH 60, and the Vietnamese-built Rapido 60, capable of astonishing speeds and very attractively priced. There's also the Lagoon 60, with the power of the world leader, and the luxurious Sunreef 60, including the ECO version.

To face such rivals, the McConaghy MC 60 stands out from the crowd. It's not a mass-produced catamaran, and its customization options are one of its strong points.

A starting price just above $3,000,000

With a starting price of just over $3,000,000, the Australian boat also remains well placed in the high-end multihull market.

However, this price remains a starting point, and can vary widely depending on the owner's desired fittings and equipment.

In any case, the McConaghy allows you to enjoy a boat that doesn't look like the one next to you, that can be totally adapted to your needs and that, on top of all that, delivers great performance.
