The McConaghy Waszp is a revolutionary onedesign foiling dinghy that transformed the landscape of highperformance sailing by making the "flight" experience accessible to a broader demographic of sailors. Developed by Andrew McDougall—the designer behind the worldbeating Mach 2 Moth—and manufactured by McConaghy Boats, the Waszp was conceived as a simpler, more durable, and more affordable alternative to the fragile and expensive International Moth. Unlike the carbonintensive, developmental Moth class, the Waszp utilizes a strict onedesign philosophy, ensuring that racing remains a test of sailor skill rather than a battle of budgets. The boat features a robust hull construction and aluminum foils, which, while heavier than carbon, provide the necessary durability for launching and retrieving from beaches and ramps—a significant hurdle for traditional foiling craft.
