1MOSES1

Not sure if anyone is interested but the Maltese Falcon is currently docked in Newport RI. For those of you who dont know its the largest personally owned sailboat in the world at 290'. What makes it so unique is the design. The entire boat is automated making it easy for one person to operate. Google Maltese Falcon, it is very impressive selling for over $120 million. Just figured I would toss that out there.

p.s. not sure how long she is there for.
