These days, the tallships that participated in the Funchal 500 Tallships Regatta 2008 were open to public, so...had to take the moment, it's not everyday you get to see these....
A view from the marina, with russian Sedov really standing out... |
Sedov again and some others...
Sedov is the worlds biggest tallship... |
Creoula represented our nation at the race.

I can't help getting fascinated with all those cables and wires....
In front, the back of Ventura cruise ship. Quite a (big) beauty... |

The entry for the Oman navy ship...
It was rather small. While inside, started feeling something like the beggining of sea sick... You're right...I'm quite a sailor... |
