(With videos) When Tall Ship Sagres III arrived on the Amsterdam IJ, a beautiful Sail Parade that lasted nearly five hours came to an end.
For five days, Amsterdam will be the centre-stage for Sail Amsterdam 2015. With the Clipper Stad Amsterdam in the lead, a 12 kilometre long line of Tall Ships from all over the world sailed from IJmuiden to Amsterdam, accompanied by thousands of small boats.

Sail Amsterdam
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. Ever since, Sail has returned to Amsterdam’s waterways every five years to showcase the city’s maritime legacy.
Sail Amsterdam 2015 takes place in and around Amsterdam’s IJ-haven from Wednesday 19 until Sunday 23 August 2015.
Below some videos of the event. For those of you who do not want to miss a thing, the bottom video covers the entire sail-in parade (approximately 5,5 hours).
The videos were posted by Sail Amsterdam, MultiMovieplayer (2 videos), Lars Stuifbergen and Sail Live.
