   First time I am hearing about this. Apparently it is a motor vessel that has been retrofitted into an expedition yacht called the "Dr. No" by the same owner of "Maltese Falcon".

   Yep, featured in a magazine. Too bad the app is way to unstable, otherwise I would provide you with more details.

   Hmm... named after the novel, or the film? (Though I'm surprised Staluppi didn't get the name first.)
   
   Come to think of it, is the Maltese Falcon named after the novel or the film (or the other film) as well?

   HYS in the Philippines have done quiet a few conversions now. Here is their website.

   Don't know what happened to some of the links here, nor the discussion of this vessel, but here is another article link I found.
