The Discovery Channel filmed the world's largest sloop, the 246-foot
Mirabella V, and the world’s most innovative megayacht, the 285-foot
Maltese Falcon, sailing side-by-side at 17 knots. Mirabella V's rig is
300-foot-tall rig and the Maltese Falcon has 15 square sails and a
freestanding, carbon-fiber rig.
I'm looking forward to seeing the video recording.

My complements to Joe Vittoria and Tom Perkins for having the vision to
build Mirabella V and the Matese Falcon, respectively.
