Team coverage of Tall Ships Tacoma 2008.

Tacoma is just the second major port of the season for most of these ships. Next stop for much of the fleet is Port Alberni, B.C. for its Festival of Sails, Friday and Saturday. Featured ships include the HMS Bounty, Nina, Lynx, Oriole, Lady Washington and Hawaiian Chieftain.

The ASTA Pacific Coast Tall Ships Challenge race continues this summer with stops at the Festival of Sail San Francisco on July 23-27, the Tall Ships Festival in Oxnard on Aug. 7-10, the Festival of Sail Los Angeles on Aug. 13-17 and finally to San Diego for its Tall Ships festival Aug. 20-24.

The Eagle is not attending the Port Alberni event, but will be at the California stops.

The American Sail Training Association alternates its annual race between the two coasts and the Great Lakes region. It won't be back in the Pacific until 2011.
