TALL SHIPS TODAY

The spectacular sight of a tall ship under sail or in port recalls a bygone age of adventure, romance and national heritage. This book – supported and endorsed by Sail Training International – is a celebration of tall ships today. With 375 photographs and other illustrations and authoritative text, it features the world’s most interesting and glamorous tall ships, the excitement and drama of sailing and racing on them, and the evolution in tall ship design and technology.

Order your copy of Tall Ships Today through this website and one-third of the  cover price will be held in a special Sail Training International fund to help disadvantaged and disabled young people benefit from a sail training voyage.
