Morag Bheag was designed by the UK-based naval architects Illingworth and Primrose in 1963 and was launched on 2 May 1969 for the father of John Maclurcan, her current owner(2006).
In 2006, skippered by John Maclurcan, Morag Bheag clinched both the IRC and PHS Division 3 spring pointscores of the Cruising Yacht Club of Australia’s Short Ocean Pointscore – but only by the closest of margins.
