The Maltese Falcon

The Maltese Falcon may not be news to some of you but it was the first time i had seen it. WOW! She is amazing! I wonder how fast she can cross the Atlantic... all depends on wind i suppose.

Pamlicotraveler is on a distinguished road
It motors at 13 and can sail at 18-20. Best recorded day was 335 nautical miles, so that's averaging 14 kph.

nolatom will become famous soon enough
How high can she point? How to you tack her, or do you have to jibe (or "wear ship" as they used to call it?).

Impressive, but kinda strange-looking. I like the sloop look of the "Mirabella V" better.
