Super Photo of Maltese Falcon

The new magazine "Supersail World" published by Yachting World has just come out with a very intriquing photo shot by Sargentini Giuliano.

I just couldn't resist letting all those interested in this vessel miss this shot.

I did try to find the photographer's site to ask him, but did not find one. And just today I met the editor of Yachting World at the Annapolis Show, but forgot to ask him. But I did give credit to both, and I'm pretty sure they won't dislike the exposure.

Dear Mr Luciano
I know our yacht is awesome and spectacular BUT please stop using our photographs (these two were taken by George Gill and have NOT been authorised for anybody else to use except certain sub contractors)
We are easy to approach and normally give photos willingly and free BUT do not appreciate people 'stealing' them
Once again if you wish to contact us ALL our e-mail addresse are on our website www.symaltesefalcon.com

Thanks

Dear AMG and Mr Luciano and All

We really appreciate the interest in our yacht and I am continually amazed at the ability of the 'Forum' members to find articles and photos for the web.
I would like to know where Mr Luciano got these photos from because we have deliberately kept them under wraps so a few sub-contractors can use them 'exclusively' for their advertising. We try to put as many interesting photos on our site as possible but have been extremely busy and apologise for our slackness in updating the site. I am trying to find the time to put together a package for the 'Forum' and hopefully it will happen sooner rather than later.
Once again keep up the good work and please let us know if you want specific photos or info.
Regards and thanks
Jed

Dear Jed,

Sorry for posting the 2 pictures, I found them on the web, I found the pictures verry nice, with the underwaterlights. I always like the picturs of yachts taken at night where you can see the styling with the lights.

Ciao Roys Luciano

Hi all

Here are some photos i took of MF anchored just outside of Porto Fino during the summer.

Here are some more pictures

In the book of flag edicate, the streamer is know as a Homecoming Pennant. The lenght of the pennant signifies the lenght of the voyage, must have been a really long voyage for Mr. P to get to this point in his life where he feels that he is now home.

Just for your information
We have sailed over 6500 Nm since July 1st (over 70% sailing)
Our top speeds have been 19.6 Kts motoring during sea trials and 20.8 Kts sailing. we regularly cruise at over 16 Kts and once completed the trip from Corsica to Italy at over 17 Kts for 5 hrs plus
We have completed over 5000 individual sail sets and furls with only three minor problems and have only had to remove 1 sail during the whole season.
We fly the pennant as a mark of pride for our yacht and all who were involved in her conception and construction. I believe that it is supposed to signify distance travelled but it was designed to look appropriate to the size of the 'Falcon' and so ended up that length.
Cheers jed
