the Perini Navi yachts themselves are designed for ocean travel. Super long distance yachts that are designed to cross oceans. It is expected, once they are happy with the way the Maltese Falcon is performing (it is still undergoing trials and having final fittings to the hull), to make a number of 'record breaking' sails across various oceans. Fitting that a RM014 will hopefully be on the owners wrist!
Not only will there be new Richard Mille watches in the 'Seven Seas Racing Class' of watches, but Perini Navi themselves are working on a number of new yachts expected to race at 20 knots plus speeds across oceans. Fantastic!

Thanks Chris.

PS. Do you think John Harrison would have approved of the RM014, carbon fibre, titanium parts, and all? I rather think he would have appreciated the micro-engineering of it all - and the accuracy. After all, it was his quest.
