 The Maltese Falcon is an obscene vessel, at 290 feet stern to bow. The sails are automated, unfurling, 5 per carbon fiber mast, automatically within 6 minutes. The entire ship is robotized, so it can be sailed by one. Here it is arriving in San Francisco, with many a sailboats keeping it company it like a pilotfish would a shark. Surprise: The boat also has a personal submarine in its belly, called the Super Falcon. [Youtube]
