Sail Amsterdam is the largest free public event in the world. Its inaugural edition took place in 1975 as part of celebrations marking Amsterdam’s 700th jubilee. At the heart of this internationally renowned event is an immense flotilla of Tall Ships, maritime heritage, naval ships and impressive replicas.
The ninth Sail Amsterdam commences with a parade of around fifty Tall Ships accompanied by hundreds of small boats during the trip from the IJmuiden harbour to Amsterdam. Hundreds of thousands of people watch the spectacle from ashore or in accompany the sailing ships.
NHK Europe correspondent Kaori Nagao is present to cover the Sail In parade, the opening of the nautical event.
