| To celebrate
the New Century, the International Sail Training Association, in conjunction with the
American Sail Training Association, will be organising Tall Ships 2000, a major race for
square-rigged and other sail training vessels under the rules of I.S.T.A. It is expected
that the event will produce the largest ever international fleet of sail training ships.
These vessels, crewed by young people, will circumnavigate the Atlantic clockwise. The
voyage, beginning in the spring of the year 2000, will include a series of individual
races and will create the opportunity for thousands of youngsters from all over the world
to meet together and share in the greatest event of the millennium. Updated
