She has a particularly light and airy pilothouse, large internal volume, cavernous deck storage, great machinery access and a palatial aft cabin. Couple this with a performance for which Farr designs are renowned and she truly is an ideal cruising yacht.

Lady Madonna was built with a bespoke more modern international style of interior finish than the majority of Farr Pilot House yachts. The mahogany has been finished with a high gloss varnish and the Pilot House window bulkheads have a white finish which has added greatly to the spacious feel of the saloon. In addition, there are number of one-off interior design features which include a backlight obscured Perspex mast box cabinet and obscured Perspex glass cabinet in the pilot house saloon.

With the exception of sailing to Italy the yacht has been used by the owner for cruising the Western Mediterranean and has never been chartered.

The hull is of a single skin solid laminate in the central regions below the waterline with the remainder and topsides in a sandwich construction using a Divinycell core. Multi-axial matting is used with Vinylester  resin. Lady Madona’s hull also incorporates two layers of Kevlar to provide enhanced impact protection. The hull is finished in white gelcoat with a blue coloured cove line and boot topping. Internally, the hull is top-coated throughout.

An internal bottom grid is laid up in a female mould and then laminated into the base of the hull increasing stiffness throughout the hull structure. The hull is formed with an integral keel stub to which the lead keel is through bolted. This also forms the separate engine and main bilge sumps.

The main bulkheads are made of marine grade plywood with a mahogany veneer and laminated on both sides to the hull and deck. The chain plates are bolted to the reinforced main bulkhead. The backstay chain plate is bolted to the transom. The loads of all rigging and deck fittings are distributed through the hull via changes in the lay up of the affected areas.
