McConaghy Boats and Integrel Solutions join forces to deliver advanced 48V marine systems
McConaghy Boats, renowned for its cutting-edge performance-luxury yachts and manufacturer of the AC40 for the America’s Cup, is proud to announce a partnership with Integrel Solutions, a leader in electric marine systems. This collaboration aims to equip McConaghy’s vessels with the most advanced 48V highly efficient electronic marine systems, starting with the MC75 performance-luxury catamaran.
For over five decades, McConaghy has been at the forefront of sailing innovation, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible on water. Known for iconic super maxis such as Alfa Romeo, Black Jack and Wild Oats XI, McConaghy’s vessels have consistently dominated the world’s toughest regattas. The company's commitment to pioneering technologies and unmatched performance aligns seamlessly with Integrel Solutions’ mission to provide energy freedom on the water through environmentally conscious solutions.
Integrel Solutions has revolutionized the marine industry with its state-of-the-art 48V E-Power system, which improves fuel efficiency by up to 25% and offers a fully automatic, integrated package for power generation, storage, conversion, and distribution. Furthermore, the highly anticipated launch of Integrel E-Drive later this year will offer effortless electric-hybrid propulsion and generate power, all while significantly reducing emissions and dependence on traditional fuel-consuming engines and generators.
Both Integrel E-Power and Integrel E-Drive are designed to be lightweight and highly reliable, reducing the overall vessel fuel consumption and providing a sustainable energy solution. With these innovations, McConaghy’s boat owners will experience enhanced energy efficiency, reduced carbon footprint, and greater onboard comfort and autonomy.
