Yeah, I know...





Sorry I missed saturday at the fest, but had an offer I couldn't refuse.




Sailin around the bay, and checkin' this thing out.




Wayyyyy Tooo Cool!




The Al and Bob show was pretty hip too.

Comments:
What IS it? Damn that sure looks hi-tech.

What're the sails made out of, carbon fibre?
 
No, baby seals. Nice, huh?
 
BABY SEALS?!?!?!?!

Who the flock are Bob And Al?

Didja barf?
 
Tom Perkins' 289 foot square rigged Maltese Falcon. Rotating carbon fibre wing masts. Largest, highest tech privatly owned sailboat on the face of the earth. It's in the bay to have the submarine put on, so he can follow whales in the Sea of Cortez. He also lives in Belvadere. 15 patents went into the technology to build it. Tom Pekins..ya know..this guy.
