Here is a video (of several we took that day) of Tom Perkins' Maltese Falcon. This particular footage shows the "mammoth" entering under the Golden Gate Bridge, bound for a jaunt past the City front. Take note of the immense amount of craft in the the water - more than we have ever seen in one day in the Bay... Fleet Week doesn't hold a candle to the amount of boats out there.
The seas were pretty chaotic and we had upwards of 25 knots of wind. The Maltese was likely doing 20 + knots, compared to our 8 knots max.
