Water access for this weekends Tall Ships Event
 

Does anyone know if there will be a restricted area around the tall ships this coming weekend in Newport?

Yeah there will be bouys marking an area where you can't go... Newport harbor will be a zoo, I recomend driving over and looking at them, or taking a ride on a tour boat that will be going out anyways I cant say which one cause that would be spam... :D

Brian, PM me the info for your tour boat pls. I have family visiting from out of the country and I think this may just be up their alley.

Done...

"Access in Newport this weekend"
 

I know there will be two streets closed down. Washington St.
and Long Wharf St. will be closed to all traffic except for people
that have Special Passes and Parking Permits. I stay at Long
Wharf Resort this weekend so I have one of thos Special Passes.

I thought I heard boats have to be 200' from the ships. Newport will be crazy this weekend, that's why I'll be on the Block, but it'll probably be crazy there too.

Chip, it's something around 200'; bouys will be marking and the Harbor master will be out enforce....

Info for boating access, staging area, picket line etc.
