Largest sailing vessels by LOA
List of large sailing vessels by overall length. Includes vessels greater than about 200 feet LOA, which includes overhangs and spars (length on deck or waterline length are other common measures of ship length). Gross tonnage and displacement are not equivalent and vary depending on type of ton (e.g. metric or imperial) and how they are calculated.
Meaning of column S (for current Status) is:
- S Sailing today
- F Floating, permanently moored, not sailing
- D Drydock or equivalent, permanently
- H Historic ship that no longer exists
Note on the speeds: speeds of big sailing ships vary greatly depending on circumstances. The speeds mentioned here are often the fastest recorded speeds and not representative of the general speed of the vessel. As ideal circumstances may not arise during the lifetime of a vessel, they are not comparable either. The cargo ships in the list usually sailed undermanned, with cargo, the training ships sail with apprentices and cruising ships with customers; economy, safety and comfort may be more important than aiming for maximum speed.
