Boat entries must be 'of character'. This is a unique event in that it brings together sailors from numerous ports that sail overlapping courses and ultimately celebrate the experience together. The registered boats (a thousand in 2009) are divided into 8 and flotillas : Gigs and Sail & Oar boats, classic yachts, ancient fishing and working boats... as well as some thirty Tall Ships from 20 to 40 meters from the European maritime heritage (three-masts barks, bricks), schooners, etc.). Every day, every flotilla follows its own program of navigation and stops over every evening in a different harbour. This would be a fantastic concept for Long Island Sound!
The event link is HERE and one of the lovely entrants is Ninita, a sistership to the famous American racer NINA. For additional, and gorgeous, photos, click on the image below.
