The most extraordinary yacht of all time
 
Luxury sailing yacht 'Maltese Falcon' is massive 88 meter mega yacht
built by the Italian Perini Navi Yachts. A privileged few charter
guests will ever be fortunate enough to experience the Maltese Falcon
under full sail. The huge clipper S/Y 'Maltese Falcon' is the largest
sailing yacht in the world and in a breeze her immense DynaRig powers
her to record shattering speeds.

I've never seen such a beauty. It's possible to rent for a modest 3350
000 $/week

look @ that : http://www.europaluxury.com/yacht/to...se-falcon.html

Actually, I think Mirabella V is more impressive - it is a sloop (mast
292 feet)

More impressive, yes. But she looks like eurotrash.

I saw "Georgia" up close at Roche Harbor a couple of years ago, then
again underway. She passed us at near 20kt under power.
Beautiful boat, with beautiful proportions. From a few hundred yards
away, she looked like a much smaller boat. Up close, the hardware was
really impressive -- all polished or chrome, and obviously all custom made
for a sailboat that size.

Until Mirabella V, Georgia was the largest sloop ever built.

The most extraordinary yacht of all time
 
I was very fortunate to visit the Perini Navi facility in Viareggio last
July. While there for a week helping to install new bridge electronics on
another SY (SY Galaxia), I wandered through the yard and saw the solutions
they used for the most common problems in construction. It was VERY, VERY
enlightening. I learned a bunch. Imagine that there are no visible fasteners
anywhere on these boats. Everything is hidden. Imagine looking down the side
of the hull, which is finished like a Bently and seeing not a wrinkle or
blemish anywhere. Perini has a paint hall dedicated to just masts and spars
100 meters long. In there they suspend these enormous spars from the roof
for painting. These boats have a state of finish inside and out that most
people could not imagine and will never, in there entire life, ever see.

Why not????? If is your boat, you do what you want and let the crew clean it
up. I was on that end of the stick as a teenager. Yes Larry, I was once.

I was too.....once.....a long time ago.....early 60's. It was a helluva
ride! I was a rich kid. I made $1.20/hr as a clerk at Hawley's Rexall
Drug Store. I even sold women's cosmetics and jerked at a real soda
fountain. I started shoveling snow off the sidewalks when I was 12.
Moved inside when I was 14, unofficially...(c;

Richard Hawley died a couple of years ago in his 80's. Looks like the
store, which has been in Moravia for about 200+ years, is still there!
