This list of large sailing vessels, past and present, includes sailing mega yachts, tall ships, sailing cruise ships, and large sailing military ships. The list is sorted by overall length, and covers vessels greater than about LOA, which includes overhangs and spars (length on deck or waterline length are other common measures of ship length).

General Year: launch/delivery/active Shipyard: makers of the yacht LOA: overall length LOD: length on deck LWL: waterline length Beam: width

Tonnage and displacement Gross tonnage and displacement are not equivalent and vary depending on the type of ton (e.g. metric or imperial) and how they are calculated. How gross tonnage is calculated has changed somewhat over time, but has always been a measure of cargo space (i.e., it is a measure of the volume of the cargo space), and figures for displacement also can vary because of different standards for loading.

Current status Meaning of status column:
