NOT RECOMMENDED READING

There is a new book out by David Kaplan, an editor from Newsweek, with a photo of the Falcon on the cover.  In spite of its risqué title, Mine's Bigger, the book is mostly a rehash of old public material from the owner's personal and business life, and only partly about the yacht.  If you have been following the Falcon in any of the yachting magazines, you already know more about the boat than you will learn here.  Kaplan, a non sailor, laboriously explains basics, as the difference between tacking and gybing, and, unfortunately, most of the boat's new technology is over his head.  Sorry David, but to site visitors, we recommend not wasting your time or money on this one.
