Although, Charles never dreamed of building a bus, Mikael dreamed of building a clipper ship. He now has three, Star Flyer, Star Clipper and the largest square rigger in service today, Royal Clipper.
The question is related to my previous one regarding the meaning of clipper ship (grand voilier?).
This is an article for the cruise ship industry.
Thank you for your help

gréement carré
Unless you can find out more about the TYPE of ship she is (and perhaps how many masts she has!), then you will probably have to fall back on the word 'gréement' (here, with the meaning of 'sailing ship') so that you can qualifiy it with the adjective 'carré' (= square-rigged)

: Not accurate, since a square-rigger may not *necessarily* be a 3-master — it is just the 'carré' bit that counts
