Tall Ships and Sail Boston 2009 and 2000

Fair Jeanne, a Canadian brigantine sails in company of the Lannon in the Parade of Sail into Boston Harbor that kicked off Sail Boston 2000.

You may remember that from July 11-July 16, 2000, the Tall Ships were in Boston. This was an amazing gathering of ships from all over the world, between legs of two transatlantic races. Plans were in the works for a long time for this major event to happen.  We had a blast being in Boston for the week to participate in this event.

They're doing it again in 2009.

The Lannon plans to participate in Sail Boston, July 8-12, 2009.

The Lannon will be available for private charter in Boston harbor during the week of Tall Ships Boston 2009. What better place for your company outing than on the Lannon for a private sail in Boston harbor.

Already, nearly 50 ships have signed up to take part in this event. It will be a spectacle as we all sail into the Boston harbor together on July 13th. We are available for private charter that day and every other day that week. You will get to see these magnificent vessels up close. Call us and we'll fill you in on details.

Boston is an official port of the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge 2009. This trans-Atlantic regatta follows the traditional trading route of sailing ships of the past. The race begins in Vigo, Spain, where the vessels will race 900 nautical miles south southwest to Tenerife in the Canary Islands. The next leg of the race is 2600 nautical miles west to Bermuda. Then it is on to Charleston, South Carolina, then Boston. From here, the ships sail in company 370 miles north northeast to Halifax, Nova Scotia.  Finally, the last leg of the race is 2350 nautical miles across the North Atlantic to Belfast, Northern Ireland. Celebrations are planned in every port along the way, and Boston will be no different.

Organize your friends or family or colleagues. You'll remember this trip for your lifetime.
