What is Raiding? At our events, which span four days of sailing, each day's races (or non-competitive group sailing, depending on which boat you're on) are divided between our smaller craft and larger yachts. Routes are set by Matt and most participants are lined up for the starting sequence! Cream tea or a picnic moored up in a cove, the days vary depending on where we sail and the weather of course. Evenings are spent unwinding by the water with a cold drink, followed by a delicious meal and the day's prize-giving, always full of good humour. Some of the hardier sailors stay aboard their Swallow, while others opt for a more luxurious stay in nearby accommodations. Unlike traditional racing, raiding is all about camaraderie, strategy, and skill—without the use of engines. It’s just wind, water, and teamwork! Join the adventure and experience the best of sail-and-oar cruising, join the waiting list to hear about our next raid. 🌊 Sign up + learn more about our events: https://swallowyachts.com/events/ ⛵ Discover the Swallow Yachts Association: https://swallowyachts.com/the-association/

The MC55 is the smallest multihull in the McConaghy Boats range. A careful use of carbon helps to achieve an optimum strength to weight ratio. ▫️ 📹 @McConaghyBoatsTV ▫️ The twin helm positions on the flybridge give great sight lines forward and the elevated position on this yacht helps in-port manoeuvres. ▫️ There are two layouts on offer. A four-cabin layout (all en suite) or a three-cabin layout, with a large master suite with private study, in the starboard hull. ▫️ The wide saloon is very spacious with large windows running the full length of the hulls and fully retractable glass doors to aft. ▫️ This catamaran feels like a New York apartment. ▫️ Specs LOA 15.87M BEAM 8.24M DRAFT (WITH CENTREBOARDS) 1.35M TO 3.75M UPWIND SAIL AREA 150SQM NAVAL ARCHITECT KER YACHT DESIGN STANDARD POWER 2 X 57HP FUEL TANKS CAPACITY 460L FRESH WATER CAPACITY 460L HARKEN DECK GEAR CONSTRUCTION E glass, core cell vinylester resin construction ▫️ ▫️ ▫️ #multihulls #sailing #catamarans #multihull #mcconaghymc55 #catamaran #mcconaghy #luxury #multihullsailing #mcconaghyboats #performancecatamarans #fast #katamarans
