Nathanael G. Herreshoff’s 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 designers’ pedigrees - among the best of the period - and were typically very well built, proving moreover to be fast, firm – and very beautiful. FALCON, Q-16 (ex JOUR DE FÊTE, 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 Europe’s 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.

This was one of the most rewarding (and frustrating) projects I have ever undertaken. Inspired by another boats wheel and wanting something a little more special that the standard French whipping technique, I opted for coachwhipping - and to make it a little more challenging, I made it a 9 strand 😂 is it perfect? No. But it’s pretty darn close and I’m very proud of it! Will I do it again? Not unless I am paid handsomely 😝 You can figure out how to do this yourself by reading the step by step blog over on our website: https://www.svavocet.com/2026/06/13/how-to-wrap-a-sailboat-wheel/ Don't miss out on upcoming sailing adventures, DIY stories, and equipment reviews!

Five racing sailboats rush toward the same turning mark — and it gets wild fast! Sails slam, masts sway, and one aggressive turn forces the other boats to swerve sharply to avoid a collision. Water splashes directly onto the lens, adding to the chaotic, realistic race tension. ⛵ High-speed racing 🌊 Tight mark rounding 🔥 Near-collision action A must-watch moment for sailing lovers! --- #Sailing #SailingRace #MarkRounding #YachtRacing #SailingLife #BoatLife #SailingReels #OceanRacing #RaceStart #SailingVibes #WindAndWater #SailingAddict
