Tomorrow starts SAIL 2015, the largest free public event in the world.
Tall ships from all over the world visit Amsterdam and the event attracts millions of visitors.
I was surprised to find out that special VFR routes are designed in the Schiphol CTR so you can watch the classic ships from the air.
Kudo’s for Air Traffic Control The Netherlands for making this possible!
If you want to fly over Amsterdam and watch the tall ships, below the procedures:

I can only second that. Thanks for mentioning!
Cool
Wow that looks spectacular! Is this an annual event? Would be great to arrange a fly-in with a few people and charter a boat. Seems quite a few people on EuroGa are also interested In sailing or boats in general. What are the transport links like from Rotterdam? which I’m guessing with the flying club doing thre handeling for GA would be more reasonable.
Planning to go flying at Saturday. Will share soms pics.
@Alex_ SAIL comes to Amsterdam every 5 year. Transport from Rotterdam to Amsterdam is excellent but I have no idea what the connection Rotterdam Airport to the station is like.
Thanks @Peter_Mundy Rotterdam is on the 2015 get to list!
Today I did the “SAIL route RED” with two teenage girls in the back.
There was a lot of crosswind and it was turbulent low level, so they were surprisingly quiet :-)
This was the only photo which I was allowed to share. Teenage girls think they’re ugly if their face is visible in a photo ;-)
