46' Racing Cruising Yacht
Boat Names: Macs Out, More Witchcraft
The deck layout is neat and uncluttered enhancing the
smooth purposeful lines and ensuring shorthanded sailing is
easy and enjoyable. Twin wheels ensure maximum visibility
and comfort for the helmsman while the open transom
provides excellent boarding access for fishing, swimming
and the transfer of people and equipment.
Careful attention has been given to weight placement.
Whether cruising or racing, a smoother faster ride is
obtained through having very little excess weight forward
of the main bulkhead and aft of the companionway. With all
water and fuel tanks situated around the centre of
buoyancy, and bulky cruising equipment kept as low as
possible, uncomfortable pitching in a seaway is minimised.
First yacht of this design, sailing on the water,
was
‘Macs Out’,
in Auckland, New Zealand. Now owned by veteran Sydney
Hobart skipper,
John Cameron,
‘Fincorp More Witchcraft’
races out of Sydney, Australia. She has completed 3
Sydney-Hobart’s and has won various races including
1st
in PHS in the 2004 Ingles

and 3rd
in PHS in the
2005 Sydney to Gold Coast Yacht Race.
