	Transatlantic Voyage aboard Royal Clipper
		Royal Clipper's sail arrangement is a pleasing sight-one of symmetry where the height of sail forward and aft from her main and middle masts (with royals) diminishes.
		The courses (lower sails) on Royal Clipper have had to be reduced in depth to clear appendages on her uppermost or Sun Deck (ventilators, housings, lifeboats and tenders) but this certainly does not detract from the beauty of the arrangement with all sail set.
		The Clipper Dining Room is located at the center of the ship, and is attractively designed with curved stairway entry both fore and aft-and with a grand piano at an intermediate mezzanine level and a lounge at a higher mezzanine.
