What is the fastest "classic" pre WWII era yacht

[Squalamax]

I think i remember reading Flying Cloud had a 374 mile day as her best and Atlantic 325 or so. Pretty incredible averages for sure. 

I didn't realize there was a replica of Atlantic built. Pretty cool.

A Scows and E Scows zip along pretty well

A Scows and E Scows zip along pretty well 

That be a lot of mast and sail for a boat that’s got no keel and has a flat bottom

(but they sure are fun)

Downwind, sothern ocean ....4 masted steel barquentines went quick I think

Tea Clippers were the fastest commercial sail - 17 knots or so best speed.

The E scow and MC scow are both pretty fast. Not much room for the head though.
