Squall lines can quickly triple the amount of wind you’re dealing with and have the potential to do damage if you’re caught unprepared. Once the squall hits, preparation is over and it’s up to reactive seamanship skills. While your strategy should depend on many factors (your boat, sea conditions, proximity to land, etc.) here are a few things that are helpful in most circumstances: 1. Reduce sail area early. Considering dropping sails entirely depending on conditions. 2. Ensure the crew puts on proper gear such as Lifejackets, Foul weather jackets, tethers, etc. 3. Take note of where you are & where you were sailing to. Be aware of any nearby shoals or reefs. 4. Prepare for poor visibility. Turn on running lights, monitor VHF ch16, have an airhorn accessible, etc. What else would you add to this list?

There is, of course, her impeccable and superb Sparkman & Stephens/ Paul E. Luke design and build provenance, and undoubted beauty. But MADRIGAL offers a rare extra dimension: the opportunity to purchase a #classic cruiser/ racer yawl at that magic 45-50 ft size range that has been much loved and well cared for by the same family since she was first launched almost 65 years ago. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/684/sparkman-and-stephens-paul-luke-46-ft-bermudan-yawl-1958 In the past MADRIGAL rubbed shoulders with some of the 20th Century’s most famous yachts in the Newport Bermuda Race and was a regular race winner on Long Island Sound. More recently she has cruised and raced in Maine and been looked after professionally, indoors by winter, in the capable hands of Brooklin Boatyard. MADRIGAL is an American dream.
