By 1850, this journey was halved. For instance the clipper ship Oriental was able to sail from Hong Kong to London in 97 days that year. The absolute one day distance record made by a clipper involved 436 nautical miles. Clipper ships were fast but no specific rig type was standard. By 1845, the term was used in conjunction with a name indicating the cargo carried or area served by a fast-sailing vessel and a specific rig type was usually indicated.
When I sailed the Atlantic in 1980 on a 30' catamaran (a fairly fast sailing boat), it took me 22 days from Gomerra to Barbados (2800 nautical miles). We averaged something like 122 nautical miles per day, if I remember correctly.
