If you are into such things, there is an extraordinary boat sailing into SF Bay today tomorrow, the Maltese Falcon owned by Tom Perkins. While an awkward week to have such a conspicuous display of wealth, I think you have to look beyond the money to see this boat for the technical achievement that it is. There’s really nothing like it anywhere in the world, it’s a true one-of-a-kind that sets a benchmark all it’s own.
