Yframe - McConaghy Performance Carbon Fibre Wheels John Curnow

McConaghy Performance Carbon Fibre Wheels now fit all the major pedestal brands. Introductory pricing - just in time for Christmas.

There was a day when you’d have to buy the whole boat, just to get one of these gems. Now through their Components Division, McConaghy’s supplies all their great carbon fibre bits and pieces found between the bow and stern to every owner out there. Most recently they’ve modified their world-renowned, Carbon Fibre Performance Wheels to fit all major pedestal brands.

With just a spanner, you can install this über cool piece of carbon fibre bling adding some serious performance to your racing. They’re extremely light, offer reduced flywheel effect and provide unprecedented rudder feedback to the skipper. The added bonus is that they have exceptional ergonomics, making it a whole lot nicer to hang on to during those long legs.

McConaghy’s invented the composite wheel back in the 80’s and have been improving it ever since. Little wonder then, that seven out of this year’s eight Volvo Ocean Race yachts featured McConaghy steering wheels and systems.

Along with other carbon fibre components, McConaghy’s are offering their Performance Wheels direct to yacht owners worldwide from their website at a incredible introductory prices. Buyers can also call McConaghy’s direct on +61 (0)2
