Bundalong

A 3,500 nautical mile range and an 8,000-litre fuel capacity set Bundalong apart from most catamarans her size: this is a boat built to cross oceans, not hug a coastline. McConaghy delivered her in 2023, and she is currently offered from Gold Coast, Australia.

Build and provenance

Bundalong is built in composite: E-glass and epoxy resin over a foam-sandwich core, reinforced with carbon fibre, the construction McConaghy uses across its range to keep weight down without giving up strength. The Italian studio M2Atelier drew her lines, and she carries a CE Category A Ocean classification, the rating for a yacht built to handle open water rather than coastal runs alone.

Layout and accommodation

Four cabins sleep eight guests, with a crew of four looking after them, a fair ratio for a yacht built to spend real time at anchor rather than alongside a marina. Her 10.2-metre beam is generous for a 24-metre length, and it is the mark of her catamaran hull: it buys interior volume a monohull the same length could not carry.

Performance and engineering

Two 300 hp John Deere engines, logged at 1,037 hours, give her a 10-knot cruise and a 15-knot top speed, figures that put her in passage-making territory rather than sports-cruiser pace. A draft of just 1.2 metres lets her reach shallow anchorages a deeper-hulled yacht could not,

Where she lies and how to see her

Bundalong lies in Gold Coast, Australia. Boatcrowd arranges viewings on board and is present for each one, and once an offer is accepted we bring in the surveyor and organise the sea trial ahead of handover.
