The main deck is a wide open space featuring a main saloon, an aft-cockpit, 2 separate studio areas and a dining room forward. The interior design and exterior styling of Maltese Falcon is done by Ken Freivokh Design. Trimmed by automation and under the control of only one person, while harnessing wind power to reduce fuel costs with less expensive Dacron sails and emitting lower carbon emissions, the Dynarig of the 21st century is an idea whose time has come. Easily handled by single instrument panel operation with sails that can be set in seven minutes. Setting all sails only takes 6 minutes and tacking can be done within 90 seconds, leaving as much as time possible for enjoying sailing this groundbreaking yacht.Īllowing safe, high average speeds in ocean conditions with less heel under sail than conventional rigs, the Dynarig's performance assets are matched by its efficiency, economic and environmental savings. Thats why were bringing you the list of the most famous sailboat to have ever sailed.

The yacht has 3 free standing carbon fibre masts with each 5 individually sails, each mast can rotate to suit the wind direction. History remembered sailors but not so much the sailboats. She is powered by engines giving her a maximum speed of 18 knots and a cruising speed of 14 knots. This adds up to a gross tonnage of 1110 tons. With a beam of 12.9 m and a draft of 6 m, she has a steel hull and aluminium superstructure. After years of designing, improving and testing of the rig, “Maltese Falcon" succesfully completed her first seatrial in June 2006. We had the opportunity to witness the mighty superyacht Maltese Falcon sailing out the coast of Sardinia on winds over 30knts. Maltese Falcon is a 88 m / 2889 luxury sailing yacht. The team for this complex, yet promissing project was formed and the work could start. Gerard Dykstra came with the suggestion for the Dynarig concept. The owner of “Maltese Falcon" started the project with an existing Perini hull, he appointed Dykstra Naval Architects as the Naval Architects. Tom Perkins created one of the most sensational three-masted sailing yachts of the past 100 years when he built the 88 metre Maltese Falcon with Perini Navi. The idea went into the archives when no Dynarigs where built. In the early 1960's a Dynarig concept was developed in Germany to achieve alternative propulsion for commercial shipping during the oil crisis.
