The boat is called a clipper on their website, they call it a clipper ( they simply must not know as much as you )and the captain told me in an email, it is fitted for racing not comfort, suggesting, and I use his words " it's quite spartan below decks not fitted out like a yacht, where comfort is not an option" including showers !
