Maltese Falcon

[chrysalis]

The Maltese Falcon is the largest sailing yacht in the world. The first shot is of her opening her sails as she leaves St. Barths in the Caribbean. The second shot is of her under full sail with St. Maarten in the background.

To get a perspective of size, on the first shot note the person walking near the stern of the ship.

you can charter her for the mere price of $550,000 per week...with a discount for a monthly charter:)

I think at that price I'm better off trying to get a crew job on the ship...at least then I'd be paid to be on it...:lol:

That's one crazy modern yacht with sails I've ever seen. Cool photos.

why does the 2nd shot have so much grain in it?

it's a cool ship and I like that it pays homage to the old clipper ships and windjammers, but I'm still partial to wood, canvas and brass.
