Tall Ships Race 2011
The motion
That the Parliament considers that the Tall Ships Race 2011 was a tremendous success; notes that it attracted more than 700,000 people to Inverclyde over a four-day period from 9 to 12 July 2011 to see what it considers to have been the 57 magnificent vessels participating in the race and the fantastic array of shore entertainment, including live performances from Lulu, Deacon Blue and the Magic Numbers and a flypast from the Red Arrows on the final day; believes that this has brought a significant economic and tourist boost to the area; notes that this is the first time that the tall ships have visited Inverclyde since the 1999 event, which it believes was a spectacular success; salutes the hard work of project manager Helen Drummond and the team at Sail Inverclyde for organising what it believes was a well-run and popular event for local people and visitors alike, and welcomes what is viewed as a fantastic showcase for the Inverclyde area.
