MALTESE FALCON
yacht
The 289-ft. Maltese
Falcon is the largest and most expensive sailing superyacht. This extravagant and elegant ocean voyager
was built for the venture capitalist Tom
Perkins (one of the men who helped found Silicon
Valley.)
Maltese Falcon sailing yacht
completed her trial sail on June 12th,
2006, and made her maiden voyage from Turkey to Italy
in July 2006.
Fully rigged, the three story 20 story carbon fiber
masts hold sails that can move the Maltese Falcon
superyacht across
the Atlantic in just ten days. The yacht's
sophisticated computer detects parameters such as wind
speed automatically, allowing a single person to pilot the yacht. Perkins
himself wrote some of the yacht's unique control
software.
The
sailing
yacht Maltese
Falcon has a permanent crew of 18 to maintain the
technical aspects, including the rig and to operate the
onboard "hotel" which can accommodate twelve guests plus
four guest staff.
