Carmac VI
1981
This is Carmac VI
The first of three Feadships of this name built for a single owner, Carmac VI has always been so well regarded that forty years later she remains relatively unchanged except for updates and upgrades to her systems. She travelled widely to unusual locations including Alaska, which brought her devoted charter clientele, and served as the US team’s America’s Cup VIP yacht in Fremantle, Australia. Her second owner continued her travelling ways. Renamed King K, former Captain Gino Battaglia recalls making fourteen Atlantic crossings in ten years.
