Today I sailed home my new to me 1972 Bristol Carvel 22. I purchased for a great deal on eBay, if I told you how much you wouldn’t believe me so don’t even ask . Let’s just stay. It was an awesome deal. So I purchased her without ever looking at the cabin. I saw her from the shoreline, and I fell in love with this vintage sailboat. Now it’s time to start the motor for the very first time and head down the channel in East Greenwich Bay. Then it’s off to Narraganset Bay towards her new slip.  This was a lovely first day of ownership. Come along with me on this journey with Sailing Vessel PAI NEY formally SV WHITE DOVE. Thank you for watching another episode of Solitude And Sailing. Fairwinds and following seas to all.
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.
