A clipper ship is a type of sailing ship known for its speed, with a narrow and elongated hull. Clipper Ships were first developed in the United States in the 19th century and were primarily used for trade, especially for carrying tea from China to the UK and the US. Clippers were designed with blunt bows, narrow hulls, tall masts, full-width sails, and a small crew. The additional sail area enabled them to make long voyages quickly, and were also known for their speed and agility on the high seas. They were used extensively in the early days of global trading and were well-suited for sailing in the high winds and large waves of the Southern Ocean.
Manufacturers that produce clipper ship sail boats include Hanse, Formosa and Appelo, Zwartsluis (Nl).
A used clipper ship sail boat on TheYachtMarket.com ranges in price from £95,300 GBP to £660,000 GBP with an average price of £250,000 GBP. Factors including the condition, age, model and specification will affect the price of a clipper ship.
