The Tall Ships Festival is a great idea, but even with the historical problems here and in Vancouver, why do we keep putting this into the hands of 'volunteers' and not a pro management company - $35 to stand in line in this heat for nadda?

The Victoria Tall Ships Society staged festivals in 2005 and 2008, but was unable to raise sufficient funds to mount a followup event that matched the standards of the first two, said president David Winkler.
Faced with that reality, the board, which formed in 2003, passed a motion Nov. 3 to dissolve the society.
Once bills get paid, any remaining assets will be distributed evenly between Sail and Life Training Society (SALTS) and the Maritime Museum of B.C.

Ah bummer. I remember enjoying the sight of the ships parading into the harbour in 2008. Was hoping we'd get another similar event.

That's too bad; I worked for one of the primary sponsors of the hugely successful 2005 Tall Ships (Coast Capital) and remember it being a blast. Huge crowds turned up. Our IT group set up a large CCS tent primarily for kids, networked up a bunch of laser printers and took digital photos of the children, some made up in pirate makeup which we had staff process and send off to the printers. By the time the kids were done with the picture-taking and removing the pirate paraphernalia they were able to pick up their finished glossy photos. Great success and tons of fun. Kind of a shame to see they were unable to maintain the momentum. I can well imagine the cost of running the festival though....must've been very steep.
