I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this, but it's definitely being added to my list of things to do! Ships competing in the Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge will be porting here July 8-12. The types of ships range from the Topsail Schooner to the Tree-masted Schooner to the the Full-rigged Ship. There are public boarding times on each day- 5pm-10pm Thursday and Friday and 5pm-8pm Friday and Saturday. They'll be at the Charlestown Navy Yard, Seaport World Trade Center and Fishpier.
There's also a festival on Friday at Downtown Crossing around noon, among other events. It's all free- even better!
Below are two of the ships that came last year. Check out Sail Boston '09 for more info!

Sail Boston is happening within 5 minute walking distance of Harborview at the Navy Yard, Charlestown's premier waterfront living!
