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

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

	bowsprit of barque Lord Nelson BG.jpg (Tall Ships) Lord Nelson is a ship in its own class. Or rather, in a class of two, along with Tenacious. Both ships are operated by the Jubilee Sailing Trust, a British charity that works with disabled people. As shown by this very particular bowsprit, both ships have been built in such a way that everywhere is reachable by a wheelchair. Other special equipment, such as large number compas, have been installed to enable people with all sorts of disabilities to enjoy the magic of tall ships cruises as much as their able bodied crewmates.
