The 27th TAN (Naval Academy Trophy) has begun last Thursday, yesterday rained all day, so I'm making my first visit there only on Saturday. The school ship “Palinuro” is already there, ready to sail for some day cruises with selected high school students on board.
Three jewels of the Italian Navy, minor only in size, are moored nearby: “Orsa Maggiore”, “Corsaro II” and “Stella Polare”.
A nice surprise was to meet an old friend of mine on board this boat. This is an old Coast Guard patrol vessel donated to our local “Istituto Nautico”. Refitted and refurbished by the students now it is almost ready to go at sea, a new precious source of training for the school.See also: Palinuro - Faventibus Ventis

It constantly amazes me to see so many different kinds of ships there. Fascinating. I love the first one, but even the former patrol boat looks handsome with its wooden trim.
I love boats and these are just wonderful. What a great program for high school students!
Quite impressive boats, especially the top one!

You are so lucky to have the sea and boats as a big part of your life.
I love all of them and agree with Dina - it's a great thing to have sea and boats so close!
Have a nice Sunday:)
I wouldn't mind the smallest of the jewel trio. I have a feeling we're in for a nautical week and I love it!
Cool shot with cruise ship in background. Interesting text too.
So many different sizes and shapes of boats at the port! The ship in the first photo is my favorite!
Fantastic juxtaposition in the first shot. What a contrast!
Very interesting & very nice!:-)
You must be in heaven with this event. I hope the weather improves for you!
The Italian navy has yachts? Well, the Italians always knew how to live nicely.
