Falcon
Falcon—previously known as Goshawk and Zemphira—is a compelling expression of our traditionally based, forward-thinking design philosophy, and a yacht whose evolution has continually refined her performance while preserving her unmistakably classic character. Slim, elegant, and originally conceived with lightweight wood, foam, and carbon construction, she combines an easily driven hull, long counter, and low wetted surface with exceptional balance and power under sail.
Nearly two decades after her launch, Falcon underwent a comprehensive re-imagining between 2021 and 2023, sharpening her focus on grand prix Spirit of Tradition racing. Updated high-efficiency keel and rudder foils were designed to reduced drag while preserving stability and control; a taller, lighter high-modulus carbon rig with carbon standing rigging and outboard chainplates introduced a modern update to a non-overlapping sail plan; and a state-of-the-art electro-hydraulic system brought fingertip control to her sailing functions. Structurally, a carbon box and hull bottom structure were engineered to receive the new keel and to improve load distribution and grounding protection.
The result is the culmination of years of thoughtful design evolution: a yacht that retains the grace and spirit of tradition while embracing contemporary materials, engineering, and racing technology—a thoroughly modern grand prix race boat beneath an enduringly classic silhouette.
