SV Flying Clipper is a steel-hulled five-masted fully rigged tall ship which is intended to be used as a cruise ship. A luxury vessel was designed by Poland naval architect Zygmunt Choreń, and initially acquired by Star Clippers Ltd. of Sweden, and built by the Brodosplit Shipyard in Split, Croatia. She is the largest sailing ship ever launched. Her design was based on France II, a famous France five-mast cargo windjammer built in 1911.[1]. She is currently sailing under the name Brodosplit 483.
