SAIL Amsterdam 2010
It is hoped that a strong contingent from the ADLS will attend SAIL Amsterdam. What better way to visit the famously hospitable City of Amsterdam than as a part of the ADLS flotilla. It is expected that the fleet will depart from Harwich. Contact webadmin@adls.org in the first instance and you will be put in touch with the ADLS organiser.
The 8th occasion of SAIL will take place from 19 to 23 August 2010 (see http://sail2010.nl/en/) . For five days long, the Amsterdam IJ harbour will serve as the backdrop for a festive programme full of music, culture and nautical riches.
