The company which oversaw the design of both Falco yachts was a firm called MPS Design which was owned by Gilgenast and was based in Lemwerder.
I believe that after we completed the construction of the second Falco, MPS ceased operating.
Gilgenast died after suffering from cancer in the summer of 91 while the hull was still under construction.

The first yacht was renamed as the name was transferred over to the second yacht.
I can't remember what she was called after, but I remember that it was sold in the spring of 92.

The original yacht was smaller and of a more of a semi displacement design.
From memory the hull was built of aluminium.
It was based normally based in Port Galice in Juan Les Pins.
