Full Details

Unveiling the legendary 2003 mc conaghy super maxi 86 'way of life'.

Set sail on an extraordinary journey with the 2003 MC CONAGHY 86' 6" "SUPER MAXI 86 / WAY OF LIFE" Racing Sailboat, currently available for sale in Koper, Slovenia.

WAY OF LIFE , formerly known as MORNING GLORY, is a Super Maxi 86 with a remarkable global racing legacy. Constructed by Mc Conaghy Boats in 2003, this groundbreaking canting keel Super Maxi has made its mark in the USA and Mediterranean Maxi racing circuits.

Originally named MORNING GLORY and designed alongside PYEWACKET, this vessel embraced cutting-edge technology and the principles of the CBTF (Canting Ballast Twin Foil) at the time. Her immediate victories in prestigious offshore events drew global attention to canting keel technology. Notably, her hull design, while narrower compared to modern racing yachts, relies heavily on the canting keel for stability.

A standout feature of this yacht is its clever rotating canard or forward rudder, operated at the helm either independently or in conjunction with the main rudder, showcasing a highly innovative system. While she may not dominate on reaches, she excels in Velocity Made Good (VMG), flat water, and remains competitive alongside the world’s top racing yachts.

Rebranded as VESPER PI, this yacht claimed line honors against some of the Mediterranean's fastest Maxis and demonstrated its competitiveness in the 2019 Rolex Capri Sailing Week. Subsequently, it emerged as a top performer in the renowned Barcelona race.

Under new ownership, WAY OF LIFE has received substantial investment in recent years, including the replacement of PBO standing rigging in 2019, reducing weight aloft, and an expanded sail wardrobe. This yacht continues to secure line honors victories and provides an exceptional and swift platform for both offshore and inshore racing.

It is currently available for immediate charter or purchase, with a 2019 survey readily accessible for review.

For detailed specifications and refit information, please contact us via email. Embark on your next sailing adventure with a true legend.

Detailed information, unveiling the legendary 2003 mc conaghy super maxi 86 'way of life'.

Set sail on an extraordinary journey with the 2003 MC CONAGHY 86' 6" "SUPER MAXI 86 / WAY OF LIFE" Racing Sailboat, currently available for sale in Koper, Slovenia.

WAY OF LIFE, formerly known as MORNING GLORY, is a Super Maxi 86 with a remarkable global racing legacy. Constructed by Mc Conaghy Boats in 2003, this groundbreaking canting keel Super Maxi has made its mark in the USA and Mediterranean Maxi racing circuits.

Originally named MORNING GLORY and designed alongside PYEWACKET, this vessel embraced cutting-edge technology and the principles of the CBTF (Canting Ballast Twin Foil) at the time. Her immediate victories in prestigious offshore events drew global attention to canting keel technology. Notably, her hull design, while narrower compared to modern racing yachts, relies heavily on the canting keel for stability.

A standout feature of this yacht is its clever rotating canard or forward rudder, operated at the helm either independently or in conjunction with the main rudder, showcasing a highly innovative system. While she may not dominate on reaches, she excels in Velocity Made Good (VMG), flat water, and remains competitive alongside the world’s top racing yachts.

Rebranded as VESPER PI, this yacht claimed line honors against some of the Mediterranean's fastest Maxis and demonstrated its competitiveness in the 2019 Rolex Capri Sailing Week. Subsequently, it emerged as a top performer in the renowned Barcelona race.

Under new ownership, WAY OF LIFE has received substantial investment in recent years, including the replacement of PBO standing rigging in 2019, reducing weight aloft, and an expanded sail wardrobe. This yacht continues to secure line honors victories and provides an exceptional and swift platform for both offshore and inshore racing.

It is currently available for immediate charter or purchase, with a 2019 survey readily accessible for review.

For detailed specifications and refit information, please contact us via email. Embark on your next sailing adventure with a true legend.

A Guide to Super Maxi 86, WAY OF LIFE

July 17th, 2023

a-guide-to-super-maxi-86-way-of-life-1-main

You might be interested to know that Super Maxi 86, WAY OF LIFE is for sale.

For further details –  https://www.berthoninternational.com/yacht-sales-brokerage/yachts-for-sale/super-maxi-86-way-of-life/ .

History of Super Maxi 86, WAY OF LIFE

She started life as MORNING GLORY, a MAX Z86 class yacht, and built alongside two others. This class lead the way for high performance, yet giving close racing for owner-drivers, on yachts that are very capable of winning line honours in the most challenging races on the offshore and coastal circuits.

a-guide-to-super-maxi-86-way-of-life-2

Despite the not inconsiderable build cost of Super Maxi 86, WAY OF LIFE, the intention for the class was to limit the ongoing development and to enjoy the yacht and for her owner be a valuable part of the team, not just writing cheques. The result was a trinity of the most incredible yachts designed in that era. All three Z86’s broke records in the Transpac race, and many others over the next few years. They continue to be at the top end of the racing circuits and feature regularly in line honours. Despite the cutting edge of technology, the yachts are still very competitive, simple to sail and are excellent platforms for race charter.

a-guide-to-super-maxi-86-way-of-life-3

Exploring the Specification of Super Maxi 86, WAY OF LIFE

Super Maxi 86, WAY OF LIFE has a full canting keel, with rotating canards located forward of the mast, to enable the yacht to creep to windward, and be fully operated by the helm with a separate wheel. This adds another dimension for the boat speed team, where it is enjoyable to hit the sweet spot and leave the rest of the fleet in your wake.

a-guide-to-super-maxi-86-way-of-life-4

A comfortable, useable and most importantly a dry interior has made the offshore world not only bearable, but comfortable and enjoyable, a part missing from many of the peers of WAY OF LIFE’s age.

a-guide-to-super-maxi-86-way-of-life-5

WAY OF LIFE has had recent upgrades with replacement rigging, electronics and sails and she is available ready to go for the next owner.

An Insight into the Current Plans of Super Maxi 86, WAY OF LIFE

In her current guise, Super Maxi 86, WAY OF LIFE continues her heritage; being one of the fastest, yet easiest to sail Super Maxi yachts on the plant. Bearing in mind that there are only a handful of faster racing yachts ever built, she offers a very large amount of bang for buck and a very competitive platform to just jump straight into.

a-guide-to-super-maxi-86-way-of-life-6

She has been operating very well over the past few years under charter, with a diligent crew and to top racing teams, has been well kept and performed to a high level.

Maxi Yachts is a renowned Swedish boat manufacturer with an enduring legacy in the yachting world.

Lundh Craft, a distinguished boat building company, carries the torch, ensuring that each Maxi yacht continues to adhere to the highest standards of design, construction, and performance. Notwithstanding the change of location, Maxi Yachts remains true to its core – creating excepcionally well-crafted sailing yachts that embody the spirit of its Swedish heritage. The brand stands firm in its commitment to innovation, perfection, and sailing pleasure, upholding the legacy started by Pelle Petterson more than half a century ago.

I hit the tarmac in Sint Maarten in the Netherlands Antilles revved up to partake in the yachting world equivalent of Formula One for the weekend. Hopping onto a screaming machine taming the forces of nature to barrel along billionaire style. For it was the St. Maarten Heineken Regatta and I was going racing aboard a super-maxi yacht .

Held annually this is one of the highlights of the yacht racing world’s calendar, drawing the best boats and crews from all over the world to pit their machinery and knowhow against each other during a long weekend of hard racing, hard partying and camaraderie—all on one of the most welcoming islands in the Caribbean.

The super-maxis are the ultimate racers of the yacht world and are governed by a set of rules which describe them as monohulls of more than 100 feet in length, with a keel and no limit on the number or type of “appendages.” Pure bucket-list stuff, where if you have to ask what it costs you clearly have no idea what you are getting into. At the end of ancient maps, uncharted waters were simply marked with mystical creatures and the notation, “here be dragons.” Well that is where I was headed. And fast.

Installed at the newly-opened Morgan Resort & Spa in this Dutch West Indies idyll, I inhaled deeply of the view; and pondered what a view it was, out over turquoise waters and clear blue skies gusting 25-plus knots of wind. For things were about to go super-maxi off the beaches of Sint Maarten, in the form of a ride aboard one of the most legendary racing yachts on the water today—Leopard 3.

At a touch over 100 feet, this carbon fiber/Nomex-hulled missile can shoot through the water at over 40 knots when at full tilt downwind. Fully rigged with over 15,000 square feet of thermo-formed carbon composite sails on her 154-foot carbon fiber mast and rigging, she is an extreme machine that has won everything from the Rolex Maxi Cup to Les Voiles de Saint-Tropez, set trans-Atlantic speed records, and carried her racing crew of 20-plus souls to victory across the globe.

Designed by the legendary Farr Yacht Designs based out of Annapolis in Maryland, she is wide—22 feet at the widest point of her beam—and perfectly suited for fast offshore racing with more than a few tricks up her sleeve. Her “appendages” include a keel that cants up to 40 degrees, stabilizing her as if 200 extra crew members were sitting on the rail, and twin asymmetric lifting dagger-boards located either side of the mast to perfectly balance the sail forces when racing at full tilt.

The days of ex-NFL linebackers with 22-inch biceps grinding the winches of racing yachts are mostly behind the likes of Leopard 3, which features hydraulic winches, but the combination of almost military discipline and ballet-like choreography among its professional racing team are a delight to behold. The Captain and tactician calling the moves with precision timing, and an otherworldly sense of the wind down to the second, divining increases and decreases in invisible forces as if Merlin himself were aboard as the team trims sail to maximize speed at all moments.

The real key to the deployment of this technological wizardry is the team which employs it. As with Formula One, two things are necessary in spades—enormous amounts of money, and enormous amounts of skill and experience on the team. One begets the other, but it also pays for the eye-watering expenses of maintaining the boat and crew in peak condition with every carbon sail, titanium nut and bolt, and carbon fiber piece in optimal race-ready condition. Like life, things wear out, break, and go amiss.

I’ve been on boats that have snapped masts, lost sails, hell, almost sank. And for mere mortals if this happens you go bankrupt. But in the world of billionaire yacht-racing, you just Fedex a new carbon fiber mast half way around the world overnight, and have it fitted to keep you racing the next day. I saw Larry Ellison do this at Antigua Race Week one year when his yacht Sayonara snapped its mast—and it says everything you need to know about sailing super-Maxi style.
