The Atyla from Spain and the Kapitan Borchardt from Poland this summer for the first time to Amsterdam and the ARC Gloria from Colombia is back with a vengeance. And we are not there yet says Jeannette Zoo, responsible for negotiations with the Tall Ships: “We try to provide the most special and diverse as possible lineup”
Firsts
. The Atyla from Spain for the first time at SAIL Amsterdam. This family ship was built from 1980 in which the shipbuilders personally sought out the trees and omzaagden to give the ship as traditional as possible form. Despite the origin of the vessel and the family, the official language is English on board.
So the team is trying to create an international as possible occupation. The Kapitan Borchardt is a first for SAIL Amsterdam. This ship was built in 1917 as a Dutch freighter. After the 42-meter long ship was converted into a training ship of the Maritime Academy of Stockholm sails since 2011 under the Polish flag.
After years of absence, the ARC Gloria will again act give an appearance during SAIL Amsterdam 2015. With its huge flag, her enthusiastic crew and beautiful presentation when she enters a port, the ARC Gloria is high on the wish list of SAIL events worldwide. “If the men entering, proudly sing their national anthem and that while they are high on the yards, that gives goosebumps,” said Jeannette Zoo.
Navy Ships
Also, a lot of foreign Navy training ship of the party. For example, the Iskra from Poland and the Gladan from Sweden will perform during SAIL. But the Royal Navy is well represented with Zr. Ms. De Ruyter, Zr. Ms. Zealand and the submarine Zr. Ms. Porpoise. All accessible to the public in August.
