Sr Max
Description
The SR Max, sometimes referred to as the SR 27, is a performance-oriented fiberglass sailboat designed by Don Martin and introduced by SR Boats, a division of TPI Composites, in 1985, with approximately 50–100 units produced through the late 1980s. Built initially by Tartan Marine and later by SR Boats (with some units completed by Seidelmann Yachts), it features a fin keel, spade rudder, raked stem, and reverse transom, designed for club racing and coastal cruising. Powered by an outboard auxiliary (typically 6–9.9 hp in a well) or optional inboard diesel, with tiller steering, it’s agile and potentially trailerable with modifications. Known for its lightweight construction, responsive handling, and competitive PHRF rating (~180–195), it appeals to racers and weekend sailors,
