Team coverage of Tall Ships Tacoma 2008.

Tall Ships spokesman Matthew Erlich called this morning to report the results of the American Sail Training Association race from Victoria, B.C. to Port Angeles.
Amid all the cannon fire and pirates, it was easy to forget this wasn't just an exhibition but also a competition.
For the record, the Lynx won, followed by the HMCS Oriole and Gig Harbor's own Amazing Grace, Erlich said.
The other ships that began the competition were the Hawaiian Chieftain, Lady Washington, Adventuress and Eagle. Due to tide, winds and the number of tacks it would have taken, their skippers elected not to finish.
