Tom Perkins - The Greatest Sailboat Ever - Maltese Falcon Tom Perkins, the venture capitalist behind such companies as Google, Genentech, Amazon, and AOL, doesn't do things halfway. When he collected vintage cars, for instance, he had the world's largest collection of Bugatti automobiles. And when he decided to pursue a lifelong dream and build a sailing yacht, he went the whole nine yards: He decided it would be the world's largest yacht--big enough to fit Noah's Ark on its deck. He wanted it to sail at a record 26 knots, under unprecedented physical forces. And, he thought, having built this marine wonder, why not use it to try to smash the 155--year--old world sailing record from New York to San Francisco around Cape Horn? Thus the Maltese Falcon--the largest private sailing vessel ever constructed--was born. Perkins is a sailor as well as a dreamer, and he loves the romantic idea of sailing--and the magnificent ships of yore with names like Cutty Sark and Sea Witch that conjured up images of speed and danger. So Perkins set out to build "the perfect yacht"--as long as a football field, 42 feet wide, and with three masts so tall they will just fit under the great suspension bridges of the world. The Maltese Falcon, as he's dubbed his ship (since its home berth will be Malta), will use technology no clipper skipper ever imagined--a rig with no sheets, no stays, no halyards--just free--standing, rotating carbon fiber masts with 18 sails surging freely in the wind. At $87 million, it will be a technological marvel--as complex as the man himself. The famed Perini Navi yard in Turkey put the Falcon in the water in 2006, ready for sea trials. There is some competition to the title of the grandest yacht of all--the Athena (being built by Netscape founder Jim Clark) and the Mirabella V (being built by Avis Car Rental magnate Joe Vittoria). Athena will be the largest sloop, and Mirabella V the largest schooner. But the Maltese Falcon will be a marvel of mechanics, engineering, and techonology, married with the romance of the age of sail, dressed out in the finest accommodations money can buy and the human mind can imagine. More than just the story of the boat, The Falcon is a broader profile of the combination of ambition, recklessness, bravado, and achievements of a 21st century entrepreneur and his time. http://www.amazon.com/Mines-Bigger-Perkins-Greatest-Sailing/dp/0061227943 http://www.kpcb.com/ Tags: Tom Perkins Maltese Falcon Sailboat Google Genentech Kleiner Caufield Byers |

75: Barcelona World Race, Miami Mermaids, Sailboat Sinkings http://www.TheBoaters.TV EP 75 -- First UP: Last week in the Barcelona World Race, team Hugo Boss had a scary near collision with a merchant cargo ship. Skipper Alex Thomson had spotted the oncoming ship when she was still a good five miles away, but the cargo ship failed to see the black Hugo Boss monohull -- and consequently, was at fault in the incident. According to the International Regulations for Preventing Collisions at Sea, published by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) also states that "Except in narrow channels, traffic schemes, and when overtaking, a power-driven vessel must give way to a sailing vessel." Again, fault goes to the cargo ship, whose responsibility it was to steer away from the sailing Open 60. The duo aboard Hugo Boss tried to avoid the collision by altering their course a few degrees, which caused the vessel to end up on its side. Not only did Hugo Boss recover, but from December 6th--7th, the team set a new 24-hour record for monohulls up to 60 foot -- 492.7 miles. Next up: Meet the Miami Mermaids. Made up of three Mur-people: Mermaid Medina, Mermaid Misty and even a MerMALE, MerTini, this trio can be hired to swim in your pool or simply hang around "shipwrecked" (as they call it) when there is no pool or water. Find our more on their website at http://www.MiamiMermaids.net or visit the Miami Mermaids' MySpace page ( http://www.MySpace.com/miamimermaids ) where, in their Top Friends section, you'll find signs of an entire mermaid culture: You'll not only find the Florida Keys Marine Mammal Rescue Team, but even some of their other mermaid pals. Next up: When studying their insurance case files, BoatUS (the Boat Owners Association of the United States) found that 40 percent of the sinkings on file were caused by vessels striking a submerged object. Another 16 percent of reported sinking cases held that it was a broken prop shaft or strut that was responsible. In today's episode, we give you five BoatUS tips on how to prevent your sailboat from becoming another statistic. For more tips, please visit http://www.BoatUS.com - If you have any tips of your own to prevent sailboat sinkings, feel free share them to with us in the Forums over at http://www.TheBoaters.com Finally today: Julie's TheBoaters.com Sealebrity Profile Pick of the Day is Captain Dennis (aka Diver Dennis), and his 1975 Marinette Express, Surface Interval.

Daysailer King Fisher III 12ft SAILBOAT SAILING DINGHY LI NY This is the first chapter of our little day sailer; recently bought on eBay. This film was taken the day I brought it home after purchasing it in Southold, New York. We live very close to Bellport Bay on Long Island. It is very shallow here, and we cannot have a boat with a large keel (ours has a swing keel). This boat also easily becomes a little motor boat, as you will see in my next video, cruising around our bay with a classic 1973 Johnson 4 hp 2 stroke motor. At the time of this video, new sails are being made at Doyle Sails in Huntington, NY. Through researching, I found that Philip L. Rhodes was the original designer of this boat in 1960 an the original builder was Atlantic Fiberglass , although this version was built by American Fiberglass Corp. in February of 1974. His 12 Meter Weatherly won the America's Cup in 1962. David Stanton of American Sails, SC was also very helpful in providing information about this boat. I am hoping to deal with him soon for more parts for this classic sail boat. If you have any information you may be able to share or photographs or your own American Kingfisher III, that would be greatly appreciated. You may contact me at cdalego@aol.com. I hope by posting this I may inspire other King Fisher III owners to write about or film their boats as well. There is not much information to be found online at this point in time -- they are almost forgotten about. Oday Widgeon is very close to this design look for us sailing out on the great South Bay of Long Island to Davis Park Fire Island or camping at Smith Point a Suffolk County Park campground HAPPY SAILS TO YOU... until we meet again. hope you enjoyed our little movie with the boat with a pirates flag jolly roger American Sails are a great resource for parts for this and many other boats visit there site for sailboats and parts http://www.americansail.com/ this sailboat A.K.A as a Fractional Sloop The Mainsail goes to the top of the mast, but the Jib stops short of the top of the mast.

If you were a sailboat (Katie Melua) | Piano Cover Piano Cover - If you were a sailboat - Katie Melua Pictures (2007). Written by Mike Batt. --------------------------------------- If you're a cowboy I would trail you, If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor. If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore. If you're a river I would swim you, If you're a house I would live in you all my days. If you're a preacher I'd begin to change my ways. Sometimes I believe in fate, But the chances we create, Always seem to ring more true. You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving you. If I was in jail I know you'd spring me If I was a telephone you'd ring me all day long If was in pain I know you'd sing me soothing songs. Sometimes I believe in fate, But the chances we create, Always seem to ring more true. You took a chance on loving me, I took a chance on loving you. If I was hungry you would feed me If I was in darkness you would lead me to the light If I was a book I know you'd read me every night If you're a cowboy I would trail you, If you're a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor. If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore. If you're a sailboat I would sail you to the shore.

Constructing Bivalve- a wooden sailboat I built Steve Redmond's design, "Elver", in 1992. This is a series of clips showing highlights of the construction. It is a 20' Canoe Yawl. The hull has a plywood bottom, and strip planked, western red cedar topsides. The spars are shaped from douglas fir for the main mast, and spruce for the mizzen and other spars.

Katie Melua - If I were a Sailboat (alternative lyrics) Broadcast on The Mark Radcliffe show this alternative version of if 'I were a sailboat' started out as a joke when Mark Radcliffe joked about the lyric 'If I were a piece of wood I'd nail you to the floor.' He asked for people to suggest equally 'strange' lyrics and suggested Katie could record an alternative version never expecting here to do so. However when she heard the show she was a very good sport and contacted the show agreeing to do a version of the song with the 'silly' lyrics suggested by the Radio 2 listeners.

sailboat trouble This incident takes place in the harbour of Egersund, Norway summer 06. A guy tries to take out his sailboat, but fumbles and falls overboard. His boat, however, continues at full revs astern, goes into a spin .. and misses other boats between the two piers by less than a meter. The boat continues 4 full turns (still without crashing!) before we get our video camera ready to shoot. Note the owner (now being pulled out of the water) trying to jump back onboard again on the 5th turn, and the two guys in a dingy performing a Mc Gyver style rescue operation. Enjoy.
