Nathanael G. Herreshoffâs Universal Rule addressed concerns raised by the trend in extreme and impractical designs engendered by the previous Seawanhaka Rule. https://www.sandemanyachtcompany.co.uk/yacht/790/FALCON The Q-Class, exemplars of the Universal Rule, amply revealed their designersâ pedigrees - among the best of the period - and were typically very well built, proving moreover to be fast, firm â and very beautiful. FALCON, Q-16 (ex JOUR DE FĂTE, ex HAYDAY, ex FALCON II, ex FALCON [II]) owes her origins to the Roaring Twenties Q-Class swansong at Marblehead, Massachusetts, and was a famous double Chicago-Mackinac Race winner of the 1940s. FALCON, Q16 was meticulously restored by John Anderson and Konrad Ulbrich in Maine, and in current ownership has won many of Europeâs classics including the 2025 CIM Trophy Overall. Perhaps most importantly, she has rewarded her crews with the exhilarating sailing for which the Q-Class is rightly famed.
I notice that the Seychelles always feels a bit unreal⊠Like nature is showing off. Car-free islands where people move on bicycles. Turtles almost 400âkg walking right next to you. Forests that look the same as they did 1,000 years ago. And water so clear you can see your shadow on the sand. When Iâm there, I always think, âIs this my life or a movie?â And the best part is exploring all of this from a yacht, waking up with the sea under your feet and a new island every morning. **14â21 February 2026** One week in paradise.
