Royal Clipper - sailing from Barbados

This is Star Cruises largest ship, and the largest square rigged sailing vessel in the world, ROYAL CLIPPER.

It is 135m long, and has 42 sails on five masts. The hull was built in Gdansk Shipyards (Poland) in the late 1980s, and finished in 2000 in Netherlands.

These photos were taken during my December 2012 sail out of Barbados.   John Clearwater
