Maltese Falcon hit by 40' sloop.

[VTSeaRay]

What an awesome yacht! How could the 40'er not see it! It's huge!

http://yachtpals.com/maltese-falcon-yacht-collision-3074 It's for sale....

The Maltese Falcon, the world’s largest private sailing yacht, has been put up for sale for a staggering €115 million (181,688,916 US).

And it's submersible .... Wow http://yachtpals.com/maltese-falcon-submarine-3073

I love it. The august editorial body of "SAIL" magazine determined me worthy of a free subscription, and the most recent edition has a typically arrogant, head in rectal defilade editorial about the inherently superior seamanship skills of ragboters over we lowly, NASCAR watching, McCain voting power boat types.

So here we have two ragbotes demonstrating proper form in causing a collision at sea.

Brilliant.

Idiots.

Skip gets the free Sail subscription because of his undying love of blow-boaters.

So who's joining "Yacht-Pals"?
Gary can fire off about the Maltese Falcon Owner's antennas that don't automatically adjust to be perpendicular to the horizon.

(man, look at the array on that foremast)

Also, we can learn more about "right of way"

Think any of that high technology will trickle down to Sea Ray?

That is some boat.. I re-read the headline and realized that the other sailboat was a 40 footer.. I thought it was a 26 footer.. I had to go back and look at the pictures..

I like the boat... Some of the the crew members arent too bad either :smt101 (scoll past the guys.. I'm referring to the girls)

Pretty impressive. I wonder how strong the superstructure has to be to hold up to the tremendous force the wind exerts on those huge sails. That's a huge surface area.

Anyone read the comments from blow-boaters in that article... Wow. 'Sailboters' with an agenda...
