Posted By: Vikas Shekhawat | Jul 18 2006
Yes, today I'm cruising on the waves; the monster Sea Orbiter and the beastly C-Quester failed to whet my bubbling fancies and now I am here in search of solace with the $100 million Maltese Falcon.

The Maltese Falcon is the world's largest and fastest personal sailboat controlled by its three gigantic 57-meter tall free-standing masts. The masterpiece created by Insensys was launched on July 14 in Italy.
The 87.5 m Maltese Falcon is an epitome of technological advancement and design. The yacht, owned by Tom Perkins and designed by Perini Navi, equips fiber-optic sensor system to keep track of wind speed and force for impeccable sailing.
