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.



My compliments to Elon Musk for building a real Falcon, unlike those self
indulgent billionaires spending ever larger sums on trophies and playtoys.
Here is real vision:
