Tall Ships

About This Category

Tall ships (ie largely wooden boats with sails and rigging!) and associated material. This collection exists largely thanks to Bruno (BG), since I remain unable to tell a sloop from a tug.

See also Recreation.

You might like to visit: Pablo Avanzini's Tall Ships Blog, Gauthier Marines of St Malo, Max's web site (professional tall ship photography), and Traditional Boats and Tall Ships magazine.

Bruno also recommends some links for people who want to go sailing:

• Tall Ship Friends
• Tall Ships Youth Trust
• Sørlandet
• Statsraad Lehmkuhl
• Christian Radich

(AKA "vieux gréements" or "grands voiliers" in French, and "tallship" or "tallships" in English.)

	barquentine Shabab Oman in Bergen during Cutty Sark 2001 tall ship race 1 BG.jpg (Tall Ships) Shabab Oman means Youth of Oman in Arabic. This superb barquentine is used by the Navy of the Sultanate of Oman as a training ship and as an ambassador to other sailing nations. Under full sail, she is one of the most elegant ships on the water. As a regular of tall ship races, she has been admired in many a European port.
