McLaughlin Pro Racer
|
When second isn't good enough!
The PRO-RACER is the ultimate speed machine designed to your
sailor’s specifications. We are in constant contact with coaches and
“Gung Ho” fathers keeping this hull at the forefront of
technology. If there is a new proven “go-fast” development it will
be on your Pro Racer. McLaughlin blends the most advanced rigging with
the latest in composite technology to give the top sailors what they
demand… the very best!
The McLaughlin Pro Racer hull is built on a Thursday allowing 4
days cure time in the mold assuring a totally rigid shape. McLaughlin
then further refines the bottom, edges, centerboard slot and rig it to
the most modern systems and hardware available. This is your boat so
you can specify special: hardware, rigging, non skid aggressiveness
and cosmetics. Your boat can be white or decorated using: metal flake,
custom colors, clear transoms, even a photograph can be added.
The hull is simply maxed out and breakdown free. |
