We’ve done some development! Yes the Mach2 (we call it the 2.2) has got even better.  

But wait, hang on!  

Before we tell you all about it let’s just talk about Moth development. It may come as a bit of a surprise for those new to Moth sailing, but Moths have been going for nearly 85 years! Yes that’s right, and in the old days, when you needed a new boat every year development was rife! Moth sailors used to emerge from their cellar or garage, blinking in the light, ashen grey and possibly newly single.
Still, they were quite possibly clutching the key to the next chapter in Moth evolution. Some of course weren’t but they were pioneering times. And with the shiny polished hydrofoiling boats you see now, an onlooker would be forgiven for thinking that the development is quite stable, and compared to those big leaps, has almost stopped.
But it hasn’t. Read more...

Most of our customers are Mach2 sailors like you and me - dinghy sailors from all over the world who sail as much as they can in the free time they have, and enjoy it immensely! A number of our customers however are well known professional sailing heroes who have won medals, broken records and achieved accolades the world over, and are now choosing the Mach2 as their weapon of choice. You can probably understand how pleased and honoured we are that the world’s best have chosen to sail a Mach2, and we thought you would be curious to know their names. Of course many of these sailors span sailing categories, often from the Olympic Games to the Cup, and part of the problem is - where to start with such a glittering line up? Read more...
MACH2.2 RHA EXPLODE-500 After a year of prototyping we have worked out a much better way of controlling your height abovethe waves. This custom titanium / brass system provides lightweight, high strength and low friction- no slip system to prevent jamming and rope tangling to increase ease of use even in the hairiest top mark rounding.     

The system is the same length as the current Ride Height Adjuster allowing you to just fit the new system to any existing Mach2. Like the current RHA, it has fine adjustment (0.8mm per turn) keeping the pulley system simple. More info here  
MACH2.2 GEARING-500
From very early in the development of the Mach2, the intention was to have the gearing at the front of the boat adjustable from the wings. (This is why all Mach2’s have a utility tube.) We wanted to adjust at the front as this also adjusts the angle of the wand due to the offset of the adjuster nut.  

This new system not only reduces slop, flex and the possibility of the adjuster screw bending, it also is easily adjustable on the fly from the wings! The low friction.............

roktab heroBWe scoured the world for stocks of Bladerider parts and bought them to one place. Not only do we have stocks of original BR parts, but we have some refurbished parts too. More importantly we have some items that are made to an improved design, or with better material than the original parts. Now you can keep your BR going for more years of enjoyment.

Mach2 is our main business, but we believe keeping old BR's in a race ready state will help grow the class.

Mach2 won it's fourth consecutive World Championship, whilst KA Sail secured it's eighth.  We were very pleased to see 92 of the 117 competitors chose to sail Mach2's at the event, whilst 96 chose to use a sail from the KA range!

Congratulations to Josh McKnight on winning a hard fought battle at the top of the leaderboard

roktab heroBThe 2012 London Olympics has seen some incredible competition amongst all the sailing classes, with Mach2 sailors dominating. Australian's Nathan Outteridge and Iain Jensen won Gold at Weymouth in the 49er Class from second place and fellow Mach2 sailor, New Zealander, Peter Burling.  Australian Laser sailor Tom Slingsby won Gold with an impressive regatta, where he had the event all but won coming into the medal race.

'It has been something that I really wanted to have a go at. The lure of sailing a flying machine that looks like so much fun to sail upwind and downwind, that offers so many new challenges along with supreme efficiency and performance, has really interested me for quite a while now.

'The opportunity to purchase a Mach2 foiling moth and have a new personal sailing challenge has been an exciting thought and one that I am sure will make me re-think all that I have learnt in the past.     To read the full story - Click HERE

roktab heroBProbably the very best skiff sailor on the planet, current Moth and 49er World Champion Nathan Outteridge has this to say about his Mach2 "The Mach 2 is an amazing piece of engineering, I have sailed many boats over the last few years and my Mach2 is by far my favorite boat to sail or should I say fly! With out a doubt this is the future of sailing."

McDougall-McConaghy Announced as Title Sponsor for 2013 Moth World Championship in Kaneohe, Hawaii

McDougall-McConaghy, the partnership that designed, builds and distributes the dominant Mach2 Moth are to be the title sponsor for this year’s Moth World Championships hosted by Kaneohe Yacht Club, in Hawaii in October 2013.

Andrew McDougall says “ We have a tradition of helping out at Moth World Championships where we provide on-site servicing for the sailors, and its great to be in a position to invest still further in the class we love. The Moth class has quickly become the darling of the sailing world with a wonderful mix of people from Olympic sailors thru Americas Cup, to the solid guys and girls who sail day in, day out and are just as passionate about the Moth as we are. It’s a wonderful mix, and for us the highlight of any year”.

With the event following on just after the Americas Cup, this coming Moth World Championships could see the most diverse and talented line up of sailors ever seen in one class, and the beautiful Kaneohe Yacht club provides the perfect stage for such dramatic play.
