MACH2 Boats

It has been an amazing journey for the MACH2, one of the leading brands of the Moth dinghy. In 2008 Australian designer Andrew McDougall sat on a rock after the Weymouth Moth Worlds looking for a game changer – and to his credit, he found one!
During 2008, Amac as he is widely known, was on a different form of sabbatical. He had no commercial ties to the Moth class having left Bladerider after the 2007 Worlds and he was once again designing just for himself. Amac is not a professional or elite sailor, but he was addicted to the efficiency and usability he could create with the MACH2 platform. Years later, this is something the team at MACH2 believe is a key to the success of the product.
“There is no point creating something that is blindingly fast, but unsailable,” says Amac, who kept this philosophy in mind when he set about designing a platform around efficiency, that would allow an elite sailor to get the most out of the boat for longer periods of time, and increased usability for the remaining majority of sailors.
