Good programme - pity about all the shots of something that most definitely wasn't a clipper - bit like having a programme about Formula 1 racing cars full of shots of go-carts. Anyone recognise the ship used?

Some of the original film of men out on the yards reefing sail etc was amazing but as you say the obviously newer footage was of something much tubbier ,certainly no speed machine.

I thought it could be the Endeavour replica but I may well be mistaken.

To listen to the old timers reminicing and see the film makes you realise what a bunch of wimps we have all become....
