The Tall Ships Race is a race only in name. It is not about the speed at which a Tall Ship sails from one port to the next, but it is all about welcoming, entertaining and educating millions of fans of sail ships across Europe. For the first time since 2005 Amsterdam is a port of call for these mighty wind powered ships and under the guise of SAIL Amsterdam 2010 hundreds of thousands of visitors get a taste of what it must have been like when these Tall Ships still ruled the oceans.
