In 1902, the largest, fastest sailing ship the world had ever seen was launched. The legendary Preussen dominated the seas, only to be gone in a few short years. Neither before nor since had the world seen such a magnificent sailing ship. Until today… Inspired by the tall ship Preussen, the Royal Clipper has the proud distinction of being the largest and only five-masted full-rigged sailing ship built since her predecessor was launched at the beginning of the last century. With her complement of 42 sails, Royal Clipper is a splendid sight to behold. THE LARGEST FULL-RIGGED SAILING SHIP IN THE WORLD Passengers: 227 Crew: 106 Length: 134m Sail area: 5,000m2 Number of Masts: 5 Mast Height: 54m Star Clipper & Star Flyer
