SV Golden Horizon is a steel-hulled five-masted barque rigged tall ship which is intended to be used as a cruise ship. Originally named Flying Clipper, luxury vessel was designed by Polish naval architect Zygmunt Choreń, for 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 French five-mast cargo windjammer built in 1911.[1]
