Sail Amsterdam 2015

SAIL-In parade Sail Amsterdam 2015

 

The green tall ship at the front is the Alexander von Humboldt II (too ‘Alex-2’) from Germany.

Behind with the huge flag is the ARC Gloria from Columbia.

 

Since its first edition in 1975, SAIL Amsterdam has grown to become the largest public event in the Netherlands and the largest free nautical event in the world.

Every five years, in excess of 600 ships navigate along the North Sea Canal (the Sail-In or Parade of Sail) before mooring in and around the IJhaven in Amsterdam. The ninth edition of SAIL Amsterdam took place from 19 to 23 August 2015.
