How big is schooner?
There isn't one single size for this class. A schooner is generally defined as a fore-and-aft rigged (as opposed to square rigged) sailing vessel of (minimum) two or more masts, having a foremast shorter than (or not longer than) the mainmast.Schooners come in all conceivable lengths, but the largest ever built was the all steel Thomas W. Lawson(1902), seven masts, 475 feet length overall, displacing 13,860 long tons. Lawson was a commercial failure for many reasons, but she holds the distinction of having been the largest schooner and the largest pure sailing vessel (no engine) ever built.
What is the difference between a clipper ship and a schooner?
A clipper and a schooner were of different sizes and had different style rigging. The terms schooner and clipper represent two different ways to describe a sailing vessel. The word 'schooner' refers to the way a vessel's masts and sails are set up. A schooner is a vessel with at least two masts (some Great Lakes schooners had up to seven) and the foremast is usually smaller or sometimes the same size as the main mast. The schooner's sails are primarily rigged fore'n'aft though some schooners may have square sails rigged on the foremast as well, or they may have square tops'ls on the fore or both masts. The term 'ship' refers to a saling vessel that has at least 3 masts and has square sails rigged on all 3 masts. The term 'clipper' refers to a vessel that has been designed specifically for speed and usually for a particular purpose or trade. Most well known are the tea clippers that raced between China and England transporting tea, but there were also wool clippers, opium clippers and nitrate clippers. These were usually ships or sometimes barques ( a barque is a vessel with at least 3 masts and is square rigged except for the rearmost mast which is fore'n'aft rigged. There was also the Baltimore clipper, famous for it's use as a blockade runner, privateer and slaver, which was actually a schhooner.

What is a two-masted sailing vessel called?
A brig is one type of two-masted sailing vessel. More specifically, a brig is a vessel with two square-rigged masts. This means that the two masts have square sails, as opposed to a vessel that is bermuda-rigged (triangle-shaped sails). There are other types of two-masted sailing vessels: Brigantine Brig or Brig-schooner Ketch Koch (type not based on rigging) Schooner Yawl. Of these, the ketch, schooner, and yawl still remain somewhat popular today.
