[edit] Sorting order
The list of vessels is in some kind of order. Should the list of vessels be in alphabetical order by their name, with prefixes like HMS and USS not considered part of their name? I think so. -- Geo Swan 19:53, 2005 Mar 6 (UTC)
[edit] ASTA
I'm tempted to remove the thing about the American Sail Training Association. Any vessel likely to participate in this kind of race is going to be over 30ftLWL, so their definition of a "tall ship" essentially depends on who is sailing it, and applies to more or less any kind of vessel. This is manifestly incorrect and could confuse readers about what a tall ship is. PeteVerdon
- Why remove it? Agreed, their definition is really watered down, but it is a fact. They consider it correct, and that other people may find it ludicrous is rather irrelevant, I think. At the very least mentioning their view may help people who only know this ASTA definition to get the wider picture without going "whoa, the ASTA says so-and-so, let's keerect this article!".

[edit] Photos
I added some pictures of the rig from above and below. Arguably not as beautiful as the ships themselves from afar, but a bit of variety. PeteVerdon 20:59, 13 August 2005 (UTC)
[edit] List of Ships
The list of "modern tall ships" is getting rather big. Should it be split out into a separate article? Susan Davis 15:50, 19 January 2007 (UTC)
