Reichel Pugh 42 | 2010

Sydney Australia
"Q" is quite simply a yacht that defines thinking outside the box.
When the legendary Oatley Family from Australia wanted to push the boundaries of canting keel yacht design, to fully understand what performance levels were achievable, it took a special team to bring that vision to reality.
After some convincing, Reichel-Pugh were tasked with the idea of canting the yachts keel to 90 degree's, flying her fully clear of the water, reducing drag and increasing righting moment to new levels.
With an incredible team from McConaghy Boats, Southern Spars and Reichel Pugh, "Q" was taken from drawing board to reality and shook up what we thought we knew about canting keel boats.
To say she is "high-spec" is an understatement and her HM Southern Spars rig, as well as a refined hydraulics system, on top of what many have described as an exquisite build from McConaghy Australia, gives this boat a hyper-car feel that floats!
"Q" would fit in perfectly as a lake racer, or weekend play thing, and with everything push button, its one hell of a ride, without breaking a sweat.
Layout
Name: Q
Year: 2010
Designer: Reichel Pugh
Model: Custom 42 Canter
Builder: McConaghy Boats Australia
"Q" is built entirely from pre-preg carbon and was built with even offshore considerations in mind, so the structure is robust, yet lightweight.
Weighing less than 4000kg, she has a deep, carbon keel fin with lead bulb, that rotates 180 degrees around the hull, offering huge RM.
The keel structure moves on two cassette type systems, hydraulically powered, to rotate around the hulls surface, whilst ensuring hull hydrodynamics were not compromised.
A forward canard/rudder is installed, to ensure no leeway and that is paired with a convention single, carbon rudder fin.
She is fitted with a McConaghy retractable propellor system, with fixed 4-blade prop.
The boat is finished in clear coat carbon, which was an after thought of the owner, as the carbon quality and finish was simply deserving of having it on show for all to see.
Powered winches, traveller, running backstays and furling headsail - All of which are push button controlled, ensures only small crews required.
