GARM is a JPK 1180, previously known as "Courier Recommende" and has recently competed in the rebirth of the Admirals Cup.
The JPK 1180 is a sought after, highly proven and exciting boat to race, with a deck layout that is simple to operate for smaller crews and doesn't require professional input to the n'th degree to really extract her performance.
Campaigned by an incredibly committed owner, GARM is arguably the highest level JPK 1180 on the planet right now, featuring the latest and newest Hall Spars Rig package (2024), as well as new rudders from Botin (2025) and a staggering North Sails inventory of sails (2025), that will put any new owner in an absolutely perfect spot for long term campaigning.
The proof really lies in the results that these brilliant boats have achieved over recent years and with new build prices escalating to extraordinary levels, GARM is without doubt a compelling option for high level racing.
Available immediately and located in the UK, stored out of the water.
