I just watched the most expensive sailboat in the world get T-boned.

The Maltese Falcon

http://www.symaltesefalcon.com/index2.asp

is anchored just off the end of the street at the Corinthian Yacht Club. It has been here for a week, doing fund-raising cruises on the Bay (at $5K a pop).

I was down at Corinthian with a friend and we heard this Bang!

A 30-footer had whanged into it, mid-ship.

The Falcon is almost 300 feet long and they HIT IT!

The collision knocked one guy off the smaller boat and into the water.

The Coast Guard came and hauled them away in handcuffs. They were so drunk, they could barely walk.

Oh, man....

1. Wonder if that will get written up in their on-line ships log?

Damn, that's a hell of a ship! Looks as if it is straight out of "lifestyles of the rich and famous".
