The Sydney 40 AC (Admiral’s Cup) represents a pivotal moment in Australian yachting history, designed specifically to serve as the onedesign offshore platform for the 1999 Admiral’s Cup. Conceived by the renowned design firm Murray, Burns & Dovell and built by Bashford International, the yacht was engineered to provide a level playing field for international crews. Unlike many racercruisers of the era that prioritized rating loopholes, the 40 AC was a pure performance machine, utilizing advanced composite construction to achieve a high strengthtoweight ratio. While it shares the same 12.19meter hull as the standard Sydney 40, the AC variant is characterized by its refined deck layout and weightoptimized interior, specifically tailored for grandprix circuit racing.
