Sail Amsterdam



Many private boats were sailing across the harbour.

This was not a usual tallship but a marine cruiser.


Here you can see that the bridge you normally use to cross the river is cut in two halves. The middle piece was removed for the Sail to let the tallships pass. It will be replaced when the party is over.

Must be difficult to know which rope to use.

This one  looked like a pirateship, I expected to see Johnny Depp any moment.

You must have no fear of heights.

 Two Russian sailors.

The French ship "Etoile du Roy"

And they saw in 5 days 2,5 million visitors passing by, you might be get tired of it.

And a last picture.
Linking to "Our World Tuesday"

  4. I agree with Janey, very clever to have a bridge that can be dismantled for this type of event.
    Love all the pictures and it must have been a lot of fun.

  12. Wonderful to see! 2.5 million people though -- I'm not sure I would have braved the crowds. It looks like you were able to get quite close in some of your photos.
