We are looking forward to a long and prosperous partnership,' said Audi Victoria Week Chairman, Andrew Neilson.

The owners of McConaghy, Mark Evans and Jono Morris, say the aim of the partnership is to support the sport of sailing and benefit the community.

'We are pleased to be a part of this iconic event. The auction will result in not only a healthy donation to Variety Club, but it should help create awareness of the good work that Variety Club does for children locally and around the world.' Jono Morris said

The Mach 2 will be on display at the Melbourne Docklands and Waterfront Geelong during Audi Victoria Week.
