Requesting that old pasta about the guy who goes on a sailing trip with his dad and they get becalmed by a disaster near Australia and they just take turns ambushing and raping each other as they slowly lose their minds and it's really awkward after they get rescued

The tea clippers have been dethroned, at least in terms of gross tonnage. See the neoliner roro. Interestingly similar top speed and sail area to the clippers.

I actually can't wait for the next age of sail, but there are a lot of other cargo ship layouts and sizes that need proofs of concept.

iirc old timey masts were limited by the height of the trees used to make them, which was why clippers came about so late as they used tall new-world trees from old growth forests which supplied superlative timber compared to European trees.
Now though they can make masts out of carbon fiber so Im guessing the limit depends on the depth and weight of the keel

Stepped multi-sectioned masts are a 16th century technology, emerging from the Dutch and their flyut trade fleet.

High speed vessels like clippers weren't feasible prior to the 19th century because of the lack of copper sheeting that would allow for draggy weed and animal growth on the ship hull that would negate most benefits of a slick high speed hull shortly after starting a voyagle cleanly scrubbed and maintained in port.
