Schooners, schooners, schooners! Strong winds and gorgeous clouds made for one of the most exquisite Parades of Sail ever. The Lannon is the first schooner in the short film and you can watch the crew hoisting her sails at about twenty seconds in. Several of the larger schooners did not have their sails up in the inner harbor, I imagine because of the wind and risk of running into one of the many smaller vessels. The wind also made for some camera shake but it was unavoidable.
