产品简介

呈现的是AC40，这是一艘由新西兰酋长队设计、由麦考纳吉建造的AC75箔式日航船的比例。

这是一个单一设计的级别，将美洲杯帆船的性能带到了竞争激烈的赛场上。

该游艇采用自动收拢的头帆和电池动力取代了研磨机，由两名舵手和两名修船师进行航行。自动驾驶控制系统保持稳定的飞行。

AC40的船体形状以Te Rehutai的船体形状为基础，但在去年完成AC36之后，已经向前迈进了一代，融入了一些发展。

按照美洲杯的惯例，AC40的设计和生产时间表已经高度浓缩，但由于新西兰酋长队的设计团队与Dan Bernasconi和Richard Meacham的全球合作，以及McConaghy船公司的集团董事总经理Mark Evans对生产过程的管理，AC40已经可以实现了。

"虽然AC40项目的起源来自于新西兰阿联酋航空队设计部门熟悉的设计和创新，但我们确实不得不通过利用新西兰海洋产业的最佳组合以及关键的离岸合作伙伴来突破极限。

有了Southern Spars这样的公司和ETNZ造船厂的造船人才，我们还建立了一个伟大的合作伙伴关系，利用中国的McConaghy Boats这样的公司的生产力量来制造船体、甲板和装修，以及利用North Sails Marine集团来制造航空套件，" Meacham说。

英文介绍

Presenting the AC40, a scaled AC75 foiling day-racer designed by Emirates Team New Zealand and built by McConaghy.

A one-design class that brings America's Cup foiling performance to a competitive racing circuit.

With self-tacking headsails and battery power replacing grinders, the yacht is sailed by two helmsmen and two trimmers. An autopilot control system maintains stable flight.

The AC40 hull shape is based on that of Te Rehutai- but is already a generational step forward incorporating a number of developments learned after the completion of AC36 last year.

In usual America’s Cup fashion, the AC40 design and production timeline has been highly condensed yet achievable due to a global collaboration led by Emirates Team New Zealand design team with Dan Bernasconi and Richard Meacham central to the management of the production process with Mark Evans Group Managing Director of McConaghy Boats.

“While the genesis of the AC40 project coming from the familiar design and innovation of the people within the Emirates Team New Zealand design department we have really had to push the limits by utilising a combination of the best of the New Zealand Marine industry as well as key offshore partnerships.

​With the likes of Southern Spars and the boat building talent we have at the ETNZ build facility for more specialised elements like the rig and foil arms, we also have a great partnership utilising the production power of an organisation like McConaghy Boats in China for the hulls, decks and fit out as well as North Sails Marine group with the aero package.” said Meacham.
