Brodosplit to launch Flying Clipper; masts and sails to be fitted next

Estimated time of delivery is still set for first quarter of 2018, confirmed a shipyard spokesman.

The five-masted sailing ship will be outfitted in Brodosplit and sailing masts and sails added at the shipyard, he confirmed to Seatrade Cruise News.

Flying Clipper is modelled on France II, a legendary sailing ship that, when it was launched in 1912, was the world's biggest.

The vessel will have 150 cabins, including 34 balcony cabins and four owner’s suites, a two deck main restaurant, a watersports platform at the stern, an 18ft dive pool spanning two decks, and two other deck-top pools.
