Dear friend of SAIL,
With less than six months to go before #SAIL2020, there is a mounting sense of excitement among our SAIL-fans, partners, ship crews and volunteers. We’re all looking forward to seeing the wonderful Tall Ships, the pride of our heritage fleet and being involved in all the other SAIL events from August 12 to 16.
Founder Heineken is back as main sponsor
We’d like to raise a toast to Heineken, back once again as a SAIL partner. Heineken was part of the line-up at the very first SAIL in 1975, when we celebrated the 700th anniversary of the foundation of Amsterdam. Heineken is not only our exclusive supplier of beer and cider, but is making a special contribution to the SAIL social programme. Curious? Read more here.

Tall Ships
Christian Radich
The famous star of the 1970s television series ‘The Onedin Line’ will be part of this year’s #SAIL2020. Bring your mum and step back in time on board of the Christian Radich.
De Onderneming
This beautiful ship is part of the hospitality fleet. ‘De Onderneming’ is over 120 years old and can be recognized by her raised aft deck and her long wooden tiller.
Feuerschiff Borkumriff
This sturdy light ship from the German island of Borkum will be part of the SAIL-In Parade into the Port of Amsterdam on August 12. She’s a splendid piece of maritime technological history and well worth a visit.
