Hello @helga19 this was indeed really nice. It’s so sad for the organisation as all these things were already ordered. They couldn’t keep them as it was dated Sail Amsterdam 2020, There was also a nice writing to it thanking everyone for their input. They also wrote it might be a collectors item as it was the Sail that never happened.

Update:
#Sail2025 will be held from 20 to 24 August 2025
"AMSTERDAM - With a heavy heart the organisation in April announced Sail could not continue this year. . But now that pain has been somewhat relieved. The organisation proudly announces that the data for Sail 2025 are known. The event will be held from August 20 to 24.
Wow! so, is it like; people just come out and sail together or is it organized?
how does this work?? @Erik_van_den_Ham

@Ewaade_3A this is huge organised! This event is only each 5 years and is one of the largest free festivals with Tall ships from all over the world.
The three-masted Artemis is an astonishing example of nautical tradition. The ship was built in Norway in 1926 for whale fishing. Later on it was used as a cargo ship between Asia and South America.
THE SAIL AMSTERDAM FOUNDATION
The foundation has the following aims:
- Promoting the city and port of Amsterdam, the North Sea Canal area and the borough council areas within the event location.
- Boosting interest in classic sailing boats, round and flat-hulled boats and the like
- Generating enthusiasm among young people for sailing at sea and on inland waterways, and in Dutch shipping and maritime history.

The tall ships lay static in the harbour @Ewaade_3A after arriving and everyone with a own ship can sail along them. People on the quay can visit the ships and get aboard. In previous years there was a Ferris wheel (need to pay for that).

Ooooh, now I understand! I have been on a Sea cruise! I absolutely loved it!
So, I thought many people will be cruising! 
What a sight it will be?
It’s an absolute amazing sight @Ewaade_3A It’s so busy on the water I wonder how it works out so well and no accidents happen.

That was exactly what made me curious; no accidents! I like the Aerial view shots I see.
I hope one day, I will be able to take aerial views too
It will be a festival to remember, so much that 5years will be insufficient to relieve each of the days of the festival.
It lasts for 5 days, you said?
I wish the Tall ship won’t just sit still on the harbour but organize a 5 day Sea-cruise and take people far out to the Islands.
Get people cruising and all of that, it will be fun!, Erik
@Erik_van_den_Ham I was looking through comments just in case I give you double comments :). This post is too amazing, wonderful photos ever!

Hi @Sophia_Cambodia that would be double fun, so no problem. It was also amazingly disappointing it needed to be cancelled. Thanks for the compliments.
