Sail Boston 2009

Historically Boston has been a port of call for international Atlantic tall ship regattas. This year, vessels call on our port en route from Charleston, South Carolina to Halifax, Nova Scotia as part of The Atlantic Challenge, which originated in Vigo, Spain around the first of May and finishes in Belfast, Ireland in August. Boston is one of two United States ports of call.

Tall ships are visiting as they did in 1976, 1992 and 2000, and we are offering a wonderful variety of ways for individuals, groups, companies and associations to get out on the water and see the ships firsthand as we have in previous years.

We intend that Boston will unify to provide the traditional, enriching, hospitable experience that has characterized previous successful celebrations. We will adjust our program to meet demand.
