General: MAD CAREW was designed by Robert Clark for the owner and must be one of the most handsome yachts of her size around. She was designed as a serious fast cruiser and has three Atlantic cruises covering the W. Indies to Newfoundland and four cruisses to the mediterranean where the good insulation kept her pleasantly cool. The clear foredeck makes her stronger and much easier to work. She was built to a very high standard and has been well maintained since then, so there should be no problems.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Restoration: She has been restored in 2000. Above the steel frames 2 layers of plywood, twelve and 10mm and then 16mm of teak. The dockhouse in the same way. New caprailing and the hull painted creamy white. The interior has been sanded down and revarnished.
