Broker comments
The MC68 is the "Greyhound" of the McConaghy catamaran series.
With her long waterlines, towering rig and three headsails on furlers to easily change gears the MC68 delivers sailing pleasure.
Combined with the spacious main deck's indoor/outdoor living from the forward cockpit through the saloon and onto the aft deck, this cat delivers the performance, comfort, space and safety you are looking for. The flybridge keeps all sail handling away from the living spaces below, provides excellent sightlines and when sailing is done is a favourite perch for a sundowner and BBQ.
The standard accommodation in the hulls has four cabins with ensuite heads with two aft work spaces and forepeaks.
The MC68 provides the option of having converting one cabin to an excellent crew cabin for one or two crew.
Plus you have the opportunity to build your yacht with one of the world's premier yacht builder focused on creating your yacht to suit your requirements and wishes.
All this space, performance and quality delivered at a competitive price making the MC68 one of the best values in the cruising catamaran market,
