Narrative:
Landing at southbridge, ma (3BO). The WX was VMC, but somewhat windy. The nearest reporting station was worcester, ma (20 mi to northeast). At time of WX briefing, the forecast winds were from the northwest. Calculated crosswind component was within aircraft capabilities. I was stabilized on final for runway 2 at 3BO. Due to crosswind from left (west) at approximately 45 degrees to runway, I had left aileron and right rudder applied. Left main touched down on center of runway and bounced up in the air. Plane then yawed to left about 10 degrees and right main followed by nose gear touched down. Plane exited runway on the left. Right rudder ineffective to control. I should have held plane off runway to prevent hard touchdown with left main. This would have prevented the bounce up followed by yaw to left which caused the plane to exit left side of runway.

Title: A PA46 MALIBU PLT SUFFERS THE LOSS OF ACFT CTL AND A RWY EXCURSION DURING A XWIND LNDG ATTEMPT AT 3B0, MA.
Narrative: LNDG AT SOUTHBRIDGE, MA (3BO). THE WX WAS VMC, BUT SOMEWHAT WINDY. THE NEAREST RPTING STATION WAS WORCESTER, MA (20 MI TO NE). AT TIME OF WX BRIEFING, THE FORECAST WINDS WERE FROM THE NW. CALCULATED XWIND COMPONENT WAS WITHIN ACFT CAPABILITIES. I WAS STABILIZED ON FINAL FOR RWY 2 AT 3BO. DUE TO XWIND FROM L (W) AT APPROX 45 DEGS TO RWY, I HAD L AILERON AND R RUDDER APPLIED. L MAIN TOUCHED DOWN ON CTR OF RWY AND BOUNCED UP IN THE AIR. PLANE THEN YAWED TO L ABOUT 10 DEGS AND R MAIN FOLLOWED BY NOSE GEAR TOUCHED DOWN. PLANE EXITED RWY ON THE L. R RUDDER INEFFECTIVE TO CTL. I SHOULD HAVE HELD PLANE OFF RWY TO PREVENT HARD TOUCHDOWN WITH L MAIN. THIS WOULD HAVE PREVENTED THE BOUNCE UP FOLLOWED BY YAW TO L WHICH CAUSED THE PLANE TO EXIT L SIDE OF RWY.
