Americas' Sail is a Western Hemisphere tall ship race founded in 1992 as a non-profit association of volunteers from the maritime communities of the United States, Canada, Colombia and the Netherlands. Its headquarters are located in Glen Cove, New York.

The inaugural race took place in 1995 with twenty three participants vessels. Norfolk, Virginia, Greenport (Suffolk County), Oyster Bay, Sag Harbor, and New Haven acted as host ports for the event. It included the "Parade of tall ships" in New Haven, a highlight of the 1995 Special Olympics World Summer Games. Venezuela's Simon Bolivar was the winner of that year's golden trophy.〔http://www.thefreelibrary.com/Americas%27+Sail+2002+Comes+to+Jamaica+in+June.-a084680963 Business Wire - "Americas' Sail 2002 Comes to Jamaica in June"〕
The second Americas' Sail race was run in 1998, with a route between Savannah, Georgia, Greenport (Suffolk County) and Glen Cove, New York, with twenty one ships participating. For this edition the rules were changed to add specific seamanship skills to the challenge, like timed knot tying, rope throwing, sailing dinghies, lifeboat rowing and water pumping competitions between sailors.〔http://oro.home.xs4all.nl/amsail/more.html Americas' Sail '98 more than just a race〕 Argentina's ARA Libertad won the class "A" gold trophy.
