That's just a large yacht. But not very large.

The TALOFA was hanging out at the Marina Costa Baja in La Paz for the last year.
BTW, "Talofa" is the Samoan word for "Hello." I lived in the South Pacific for a couple of years once upon a time.

While Sail Training International (STI) has extended the definition of tall ship for the purpose of its races to embrace any sailing vessel with more
than 30 ft. (9.14 m) waterline length and on which at least half the people on board are aged 15 to 25, this definition can include many modern
sailing yachts, so for the purposes of this article, tall ship will refer to those vessels rated as class "B" or above (Fore and aft rigged vessels
between 100 to 160 feet in length, and all square rigged vessels).
DON\'T SQUINT! Give yer eyes a break!

To be technical, the TALOFA is classified as a Marconi rigged schnooner. She is not a clipper.

Not So Tall Ship
They should rename the boat "Billy Barty".
Although it comes close to the "real" dimensions expected of a Tall Ship, in this case a "Topsail Schooner" 100 ft or larger, it is obviously a
midget at 97' LOA / 72' LOD when compared to those ships we are used to seeing. Maybe it is tall enough for Mexico, though.
Sail Training International's definition is ludicrous and it only affects races that they sanction.

Sewing ?
It's NIT i.e. "The egg or young of a parasitic insect, such as a louse".
As a consummate "Nit-Picker", I felt obliged to correct the record.

Listening to my Sirius radio and heard the song "Blue Bayou" and remembered that I had always thought that was a great name for a racing sail boat,
er ship, er it.
