The Maltese Falcon

The Maltese Falcon racing in the St. Barth's Bucket Regatta. The Maltese Falcon is the most unique and unmistakable sailing yacht in existence. At 287 ft., it is quite a spectacle to watch this ship barrel along through the ocean with the rest of the fleet at the 2009 St. Barth’s Bucket Regatta. The three self-standing masts rotate to control the trim of the fifteen sails and, somewhat miraculously, it does tack and sail upwind.
