Hull
As a one design class, the 49er has two licensed suppliers which are named Mackay Boats and Ovington. They are made of Epoxy GRP and foam sandwich laminate with carbon fibre in high load areas. It includes a single hull with two solid wings, also called racks, that clip into the side to generate massive righting moment. The design of the bottom allows the boat to be able to plane easier with less drag to reach high speeds. According to the International 49er class rules, the minimum hull weight including all permanent fittings can not be less then 94.0 kg.

Mast
Licensed supplier of the 49er mast is a company named Southern Spars. It is a three piece male moulded mast made from 100% standard modulus carbon. The height is 7.0 meters tall that is capable of holding a combined crew weight of 155kgs to 165kgs. It contains three sets of shrouds that connect to a fitting on the side of the boat. The crew is able to adjust them by tightening or loosening them, depending on the wind speed and sea states.

Foils
The foils are made out of a hard Gelcoat surface and then different combinations of Epoxy, Carbon and E-glass within the class rules. They are designed to handle the high loads and quick maneuvers the 49er makes while sailing. In order to be legal it shall carry the embossed 49er logo and ICA per certified equipment label at the head of each foil.

Sails
The 49er contains three sails: a main sail, jib, and spinnaker. The main and jib are 20 sqm, fully battened and made of a material called Mylar. The main is also square on top to provide more sail area and to control more shape adjustment. The spinnaker is 38 sqm in a tri-radial asymmetric shape. They provide enough sail power for the boat to plane out of the water and reach high speeds.
