FALCON ON 60 MINUTES

If you saw the "Bird" anchored in the bay of La Spezia recently, you might have noted cameras and film crews all over the boat. We will be on 60 Minutes November 4th. The Boss will be interviewed by Lesley Stahl and there will be footage of the Falcon under sail. If you have a chance, catch the show. Also, on November 1st Tom's book, Valley Boy, published by Penguin, will be in book stores in the U.S and the U.K. It's a sort of autobiography, really more snapshots of various episodes, from his life in Silicon Valley, and in boats and other adventures. There is even a photograph of me! So don't fail to buy a copy! Chris

KEN FRIEVOKH'S NEW FALCON RIG DESIGN

Here is a design for a new 65 Meter twin masted FalconRig from Ken Freivokh. Ken incorporates a number of innovative ideas for the interior, including a very attractive and effective split level layout. We hope a Perini client will soon build this beautiful "little sister" to the Falcon. T.P.
