Ever since the first Tall Ships Race in 1956,where twenty vessels left DARTMOUTH for LISBON,interest in these events and the Sail Training movement behind them has increased to an astonishing degree, reaching a new height of enthusiasm in 1980 when hundreds of ships assembled in AMSTERDAM for the great festivities of sail after the CUTTY SARK races.
Some two million spectators gathered there to inspect the fleet.Now,for the first time HOLLY HOLLINS describes the experiences of crewing in these ships with a detailed account of the 1980 races which as well as implicity explaining the Sail Training movement in practice,supplies full information on the bigger ships and how they are sailed.Its this human experience of life at sea and the sense of comradeship among crews of many nationalities that are outstanding feature of the book.
