Some of the tall ships that participated in 1998 were a Russian Training Ship, Mexican Training Ship and the Lord Nelson Training Ship. The Queen Elizabeth 2 (liner) visited Falmouth and Princess Anne fired the starting gun to commence the race.
One spectacular event that I will always remember was the white uniformed crew of the Mexican Tall Ship performing the 'Mexican Wave' salute for the Falmouth viewers together with their march through the town in ceremonial uniforms complete with dress swords.
I am sure we will all enjoy, and hopefully play a part in what NMMC will be participating in, the 2014 year Tall Ships Festival.
