The McConaghy Ker 40+ represents a significant evolution in the grand prix racing circuit, specifically engineered to excel within the "Fast 40+" class and optimized for IRC and ORC rating systems. Developed by Jason Ker of Ker Design and built with the precision carboncomposite expertise of McConaghy Boats, the 40+ is not merely an update of the original Ker 40; it is a complete redesign that prioritizes a higher powertoweight ratio and reduced drag. While the predecessor was a formidable racer, the Ker 40+ was built lighter—shaving nearly 1,000kg off the displacement—and features a more aggressive hull form with a distinct chine and a flatter aft section designed for early planing.
