MINE'S BIGGER: Tom Perkins and the Making of the Greatest Sailing Machine Ever Built.

摘要

While the Maltese Falcon is not purely an engine-powered vessel, this book about it and its owner deserves brief mention in these pages. This is a fantastic story about a fantastic vessel, called "the fastest, riskiest, highest-tech, most self-indulgent sailboat ever - the perfect yacht." She also has a pretty good power plant. The dream of Tom Perkins, considered to be the principal creator of Silicon Valley, the Maltese Falcon is a 289-foot three-masted clipper yacht and the largest privately-owned sailboat in the world. (She is 77 feet longer than the legendary Cutty Sark.)
