The various teams then, in turn, carried out maintenance work on the onboard systems – generators, main engines, propellers – including the delicate overhaul of the mast handling system. This operation, more than any other, gave the yard’s technical specialists the chance to show off all their experience and know-how. ![]() One of the most challenging jobs was repainting the entire hull in its distinctive ‘Perini Blue’. Lusben’s technical experts, internationally renowned for the quality of their refitting work, have successfully translated the needs of the owner into reality, providing support and coordination for a series of aesthetic and functional improvements. It has taken more than six months and involved over 80 people working on various teams in synergy with the boat’s crew. “Maltese Falcon”, the 88-metre sailing superyacht commissioned by Tom Perkins and built in 2006 by the famed Perini Navi, with naval architecture by Gerard Dijkstra and interior design by Ken Freivokh, has completed her refit at Lusben.
