What exactly is a Tall Ship?
Strictly speaking, all sailing ships longer than 30 ft
are designated Tall Ships.
The ships are divided into three classes, A, B and
C.
All square rigged vessels over 36,6m in length overall
belong to the A class, as well as fore-and-aft rigged vessels over
48.8m in length overall.
Class B covers all for-and-aft rigged vessels
of between 36.6m and 48.8m in length overall.
Class C includes all fore-and-aft rigged vessels
with a waterline length of at least 9.14m.
The Tall Ships participating in SAIL Amsterdam are
all A-class ships.
