- We had the opportunity to witness the mighty superyacht Maltese Falcon sailing out the coast of Sardinia on winds over 30knts. The video is not edited in any way; shoot handheld with a stabilizer. We can appreciate how an 87m (285 foot) sailing yacht can sail in these conditions without any kind of problems. If you are interested in the rig of this yacht, called Falcon Rig commercially (DynaRig the technical name), we did an in-depth review in NAVIS Magazine, which can be found on edition #55 or you can read the web version here: www.navisyacht...
Only two yachts are using the DynaRig in the world, once the Maltese Falcon built by Perini Navi, and the other is Black Pearl built by Oceanco.
This is the best footage I've seen of this type of modern sailing yacht under way. Well done.
Thanks for the comment. It is indeed difficult to see these type of yachts sailing on open waters in actual sailing conditions.
The sound. The smell. The wind. Freedom. I totally miss sailing. I can only imagine what it must be like on this beauty. 😊
❤❤❤
It is simply unbelievable.
Sailing is wet and cold. You need a lot of Zen on longer trips.
Why miss it? What prevents you from doing it?
Do they Know What there Doing ?
The sails were being backwinded .
the port side of the sails needed to be moved forward
Sea state... No white caps. 30knts you reckon... LOL
At the top of her colossal masts the wind could well be up at 30kts
Yeah. That with the sails keep back winding…. Something is going on here that’s not right.
Agreed
Guess you're looking at a tiny phone screen because on my 32" monitor I can clearly see the white caps...
18 at best
Awesome video, thanks
Thank you.
Sailing to his secret lair hidden deep inside an island volcano.
13 knots?
Yes, it was probably more 13 than 30. Especially as the Maltese Falcon has all her sails up, with 30 knots they should have half the sails.
@@NAVISmagazine Maybe you could fix the title?
More like it 😂😂
My dream
Think how fast it would be sailing if those sails weren't luffing!?
At least 200 knots
Bit of a trim needed?
_YEAH, heeling and luffing??_
Hahaha, you can't believe how the helm station of this yacht is. Imagine that the masts are all carbon fiber built by Magma Structures in the UK. In between the carbon, you have fiberoptic receptors every two or three meters, which report the pressure happening in each of the three masts to the helm station; the captain knows in real time what is happening in each area of each mast in real time. Then, the captain can select one or more masts and, with a futuristic small wheel, can turn the mast through a masterpiece of engineering created by Fabio Perini located at the foot of the mast. It is an unbelievable yacht to sail.
@@NAVISmagazine _WOW!_
@@dancarter482@dancarter482 if you or any other reader would like to know more about this yacht, we published an editorial about her back in 2012 (sorry, it is old but still has useful information). NAVIS magazine was the first media allowed to show her interiors and helm station. Here you can find some info: www.navisyachts.com/201212061128/navis-october-/-november-2012/perini-navi-presents-the-incredible-88-maltese-falcon.html

Agreed
30kts where??
You're right, this needs to be fixed.
hard to say without being there, but that does not look like 30 kts. of wind
I was there; we were a few miles out of Sardinia and quite windy. I was shooting from a large RIVA but didn't have a way to measure the wind correctly. Now, the yacht is 88 meters long, and this wind was just a breeze for her.
I believe you that it was windy. Usually once you get to 17-18 kts. wind, you start to see noticeable whitecaps on the water. At 25 kts. in most cases there are plenty of whitecaps. 30 kts. isn't a gale or anything, but it's a pretty significant breeze and you would really see plenty of whitecaps. That said, it's definitely a nice tape.'
Whitecaps show up well under 30 kts. I think.
This ship was manufactured in Istanbul, Turkey🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷🇹🇷
The Maltese Falcon is a rare yacht that is the Nirvana of the Turkish shipbuilding industry. This yacht reflects the quality of the Turkish construction industry, which is expressed as a work of art. Turkey also makes LNG, CNG and electric ships and yachts, which are among the firsts in the world. With excellent engineering and technical knowledge. Viewers can enjoy.
It is italian, not turkish
@@stefanomarchi3542 Dear Stefano, it's very nice that you are proud of the Maltese falcon. This sailboat was built in Istanbul Turkey. You can also check the link I shared the detailed history. Correct information is very important.
Link: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maltese_Falcon_(yacht)
Is this an advertisement for Turkey?
@@thomasautengruber8369 Hello Thomas. For this to be an advertisement, I need to make a profit on it. I am not a sailboat manufacturer. But the interesting thing is that it is not mentioned where this sailboat was produced. I wrote the production place of the Maltese falcon sailboat. Did this bother you?
Hello visitors, thank you for taking a look at our videos. The Maltese Falcon was built by the Italian shipyard Perini Navi in their shipyard located in Turkey, just to clarify any discrepancies. So both of you are right. The yacht was built for an American owner and launched in 2005, then sold to a greek owner. It was the first time the DynaRig was built, designed by Gerard Dykstra from the Netherlands, based on an old German design from the sixties that was never built. The masts are all carbon fiber with fiber optics sensors placed between the carbon fiber to measure the loads of the mast. All this was built by the English master engineer Damon Roberts in his company Magma Structures. The incredible mast rotation system is a genius piece of engineering from Mr. Perini himself in Italy. The yacht was so revolutionary and advanced to its time that it took nearly ten years for another yacht to appear featuring this rig; this is S/Y Black Pearl but by Oceanco, but Perini Navi and Magma built its rig. So it is an international project, all thanks to the forward-thinking mind of the American Owner. Today there are several yachts featuring this rig under construction. I had the chance to sail the yacht several times and also in race conditions, and she is simply fantastic. If you want more info, we publish a whole story about the Maltese Falcon in NAVIS Magazine October 2012 edition ( www.navisyachts.com/201212061128/navis-october-/-november-2012/perini-navi-presents-the-incredible-88-maltese-falcon.html ). Or if you want to know everything about the DynaRig, we published an excellent editorial about it in the August 2020 edition of NAVIS Magazine ( www.navisyachts.com/202009091088/navis-august-/-september-2020/the-future-of-sailing-superyachts-falcon-rig.html ). If you have any questions, let me know.
Not effient. But safe
Yeah. It claims a top speed of 25kts under sail. Watching this, I have my doubts about that.
I guess that furling the top sails would allow them to brace on a bit harder on the bottom ones and they might go faster. This trim was probably maximising Instagram worthiness rather than speed.
We can certify she can sail over 20kts as we have been on board during a race in Costa Smeralda in Sardinia. She was flying. Check the image in the following article; I took it while competing onboard superyacht Silencio in another regatta. Water was coming in from the board of the Maltese Falcon as in any small sailboat. At that moment, we were doing 16kts with Silencio. www.navisyachts.com/20181113364/navis-october-/-november-2018/perini-navi-cup-2018.html - Sadly, I can not share the images from onboard the Maltese Falcon as it is not permitted.
30 knots of wind, without white caps? And yes , the sails are trimmed badly and the speed around 15 knots max( i did sail on big yacht 25 + knots , but 25 m cat.). But nevertheless an impressive picture.
That is in tail wind, if it would go up the wind its useless...
That Is not really true, I sailed her and also saw her from other yachts during regattas in Costa Smeralda, and she manages all with conditions. Take a look at the first picture in the gallery of this article we published www.navisyachts.com/202009091088/navis-august-/-september-2020/the-future-of-sailing-superyachts-falcon-rig.html. The Maltese Falcon rig, called Dynarig or Falcon Rig is different than the traditional square rig sails of the ancient boats, here www.navisyachts.com/20181113364/navis-october-/-november-2018/perini-navi-cup-2018.html you can look at some pictures I took during the last Perini Cup in 2018. On the images, you can appreciate the Maltese Falcon sailing in different directions.
The answer from the Navis magazine is authoritative. In even simpler terms the sails on the Maltese Falcon are actually wings, computer controlled and trimmed. There was a slight issue with the edges of the cloth flapping but I am sure they can resolve that problem.
what an absurd rig.
obvious why no one bothered to copy it.
Check for superyacht Black Pearl. The rig is fantastic, this is one of the yachts with most sailing time in comparison with traditional rights which are complex and difficult to manage. Usually, this yacht sails five minutes after leaving the dock, something impossible with a super sailing yacht standard rig. There is one specific reason why not many yachts use this rig: its price.
This is not a very good boat...
It depends from what you expect from a boat.
Such an overdone expensive thing.
It is only a matter of scale.
god I love the whines of losers.
It's a luxury penthouse where you can change the view 😎
Totally misleading title. Like much of sailing stuff on RUclips which is uploaded to get clicks and make money.
I was personally there; the wind knots might not be exact, but it is not misleading information.
@@NAVISmagazine It is, because if you are saying 30 kt and showing something which is most likely 20 kn you have mislead me. Why you are not saying fresh breeze? Than you are out of the discussion of the correct wind speed. I sailed so far more than 60'000 nm including one circumnavigation. I know a little bit what I'm talking about.
@@HansSchulzBalzers@HansSchulzBalzers OK, let's change it to strong wind; this might be a little more accurate. What happens with these types of super sailing yachts is that their size makes everything look smaller and softer. The waves that day were huge, I was on a big Riva, and if I didn't have the camera stabilizer, it would be impossible to shoot this scene. And believe me, the wind was strong. The yacht might be sailing in this scene at over 16 knots, but you can't even feel it in the shot; this is 88 meters, one full street block sailing at full sail downwind.
That was a lot of nothing.
Down wind..Just saying. Impressive at any point of sail….
Spend that much money on a sailboat the floors better be on a gimbal because why spend all that money and still sail heeled over.
Hahaha, you are correct. You know that I met a couple that owns a supermaxi, and as they loved racing and they were older, they hired a designer to create their seats on a gimbal so they could still compete without suffering the race's physical stress.
Maybe 20 knots wind in gusts.
Stilisticamente parlando questa barca fa schifo.
I don't agree.
beaucoup de pognon pour pas grand chose!!!
