![]() It was a full five minutes before the three rotating rigs, each weighing 30 tons, completed their revolutions and Maltese Falcon heeled over bound for the start of the Transatlantic Race 2011. However, the spectacle of the Art Deco giant, Maltese Falcon, dominated the proceedings, announcing its intentions with a bone-rattling blast of colossal air-horns to warn spectator yachts that they were about to tack for the line. Phaedo is one of the world’s most head-turning maritime creations and the carbon fibre, Lamborghini-orange catamaran has become one of the most well-known yachts on the regatta circuit. As the magnificent 298’ Maltese Falcon unfurled acres of canvas and entered the starting area, the Gunboat 66, Phaedo, owned by Lloyd Thornburg (St. ![]() While the first start of the day produced some high drama, the start for the two yachts in the Open Class was just as extraordinary. USA (June 29, 2011) – This morning, the tension was mounting dockside as 14 yachts made final preparations before they took the second start of the Transatlantic Race 2011 in a spectacular scene full of drama. excerpted from the start of the TransAtlantic 2011 Race. I must have been somewhere in outer space. I'm a wee bit late reporting this news, as somehow I was totally unaware of it :?. Once this rig had been optimised it was transferred to a small sailing boat to allow sail trials to be carried outĬ) a one 40th scale sailing model was used to investigate manoeuvrability under sailĭ) a one sixth scale structural model of the mast built and tested to validate the laminate and the structural performance of the mast section under extreme loads In addition to determining the rig coefficients, its performance was compared to similar sized yachtsī) a one sixth scale operational model of a single panel was developed to investigate the geometry details, the mechanical sail handling systems, and Sail shapes. I remember seeing one photo of that vessel, but I'm unable to relocate it.can I get some HELP please.thanks.Ī) extensive wind tunnel testing was carried out at the Wolfson Unit in Southampton. One was a wind tunnel model, and another was a 1/6 scale model of a single panel of the rig that was then placed on a small sailing vessel for testing. With naval architecture by Dykstra Naval Architects and Perini Navi, and exterior design by Ken Freivokh, the yacht has won multiple superyacht races, as well as numerous awards, including Robb Report’s Best of the Best.There were several scale models utilized in the development of the Maltese Falcon. To the amazement of many, and the outrage of sailing purists, a single, desk-size, push-button panel controls all 25,800 square feet of material on the yacht’s 15 sails, allowing Maltese Falcon to be operated by one person if desired. The sails, which have no rigging, are trimmed by simply rotating the masts electronically. The furling sails are stored inside the masts and automatically deploy along tracks in six minutes at the push of a button. ‘We Are the Most Authentic’: McLaren’s New CEO Talks Supercars and Credibility During SoCal Grand Openingīoat of the Week: This Newly Renovated 345-Foot Gigayacht Has a Pool That Turns Into a Dance FloorĬatastrophic Implosion Aboard ‘Titan’ Raises Wider Questions About the Submersible’s Experimental Design ![]()
