Tom Perkins’ The Maltese Falcon resets the bar on several fronts in sailing yacht
design. While she is a Perini Navi at heart with a recognizable Perini hull and
superstructure, what sets her apart from all other supersailers are her rig and
her interior. The rig is a high-tech re-think of the clippers of old, but her
interior is straight from another planet—or at least the vehicle that might take
you there. Perkins had Ken Freivokh, who did the interior on Perkins’
spectacular motor yacht Atlantide, create a space below that is both
industrial and utterly elegant. The industrial elements include the integration
of the yacht’s massive masts through multiple levels of the interior. Perkins
hates corridors on boats, and Freivokh designed an open plan with sliding doors
as partitions. Freivokh also had to design around Perkins’ art collection. Some
of the pieces had to be modified to hang on curved bulkheads.
