Description
The Carkeek 47 “Stark Raving Mad IX” (“SRM IX”) is one of three Carkeek 47s built. Another notable Carkeek 47 is “Black Pearl.”
Purchased by her current owner in 2021, SRM IX was completely upgraded and refinished. Major projects include: all new exterior coatings, bottom and appendage refinish, new running rigging, new mainsheet and traveler system,
B&G H5000 with Garmin mast displays, and an investment of over $250,000 in new Doyle sails. A new carbon mast and EC6 rigging was installed in about 2018. She also has a trailer.
