The team assembled to design and engineer the carbon composite Dyna-Rig solution for the superyacht Maltese Falcon envisioned a sleek and attractive vessel capable of up to 18 knots. The aesthetics of superyachts also means that traditional sails and deck lines are a frustrating design challenge.

The pleasure of a superyacht underway, powered up in a seaway, should remove crew vessel handling issues or safety concerns. Running costs inevitably mean a focus on small sailing crews, and crew members must be able to perform all sailing manoeuvres with ease, often at short notice. In one of its class, it combines an elegant design, a. Today’s super-sized sailing yachts need to deliver safe sailing systems, and to be both practical and easy to use, whilst also guaranteeing sailing performance. Delivered by Perini Navi in 2006, the Maltese Falcon redefined the world of yacht design at its launch. Discover the vessels particulars, including capacity, machinery, photos and ownership.
