sv Squall

[Roberto]

Just out of interest, does anyone know of a uk (?) flagged dark -blue or black- sailboat named Squall ?
She was in Zapuntel croatia last week.
May probably be 30+ meters long (hardly ever seen such a big sailboat), modern, ketch rigged, has a red ensign with a white circle and a drawing inside (sorry purists cannot be more precise..).
Ah, at night both masts have red lights on top to warn passing planes.
The morning after all the boats in the anchorage made a circling sarabanda around it, must have taken half an hour to do the full turn!

She is a recently launched Perini Navi, absolutely stunning IMHO. Will see if I can find her file and give more info.

Thanks Russell, stunning indeed!

The only thing I did not like much were the upward lights at each of the *five* spreader sets of the mainmast, it gives a Christmas-treeish look at that wonder!

Size is a bit out - shes 50 m, and about 350 tonnes

Damn, must have missed her by a couple of days; I was in Zapuntel around the 8th. Nice spot!

I passed it off Vis Island last week. Stunning boat! Lots of very smart crew around the decks too.
