MALTESE  FALCON yacht model

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 completed its 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 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 superyacht 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. 

The Maltese Falcon yacht was sold in 2009 for $100 million to Hedge-fund manager Elena Ambrosiadou.  Perkins sold the yacht to concentrate on his new interest of a personal submarine that has wings and, says The Sunday Times, "resembles Stingray from the children's puppet series".
