The “Stad Amsterdam” (City of Amsterdam) is a three-masted clipper designed by Gerard Dijkstra, who modelled her after a mid-19th century frigate by the same name. The 76-meter sailing ship was built in 2000 at the Damen Oranjewerf, using a combination of modern techniques with the best qualities of clippers of the past.
With a classic “look and feel” and 29 sails the “Stad Amsterdam” can reach 17 knots.
Used for training and as a charter-ship, this elegant sailing yacht has 14 cabins for 28 guests, a small library and a spacious long room. She won the 2001 Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Race.External links: Clipper - Stad Amsterdam (Wikipedia) - Stad Amsterdam (Official Site)
