Mills Design describes the MAT 1180 as:

The MAT1180 is an exciting IRC raceboat design which is the product of a long and careful design, engineering. Mills Design and MAT have worked together very successfully in the past on the MAT1245 and MAT1010 IRC designs

The wide cockpit is laid out for optimal crew communications and promotes the full range of fore-aft crew weight positioning which is a key ingredient for moding in different conditions.  The interior has full standing headroom under a shallow wedge coachroof supporting an asymmetric pit and hatch, transverse jib tracks, with a two swept spreader high modulus carbon rig for light weight and high tube stiffness, carrying a square-top main and masthead spinnakers for high performance in all conditions.

Mark Mills felt “MAT have been a superb builder of our designs, bringing their own talent for design and construction to each one.  I have been impressed at every stage of this project how committed and focused the whole team has been to make this a breakthrough boat for MAT.”
