In April 2007 she underwent a general overhaul which includes the addition of facilities for female cadets and crew in line with current diversity policies in the Navy and the updating of the engines and navigation technology. During the year Libertad was under overhaul, Argentine cadets sailed on the Chilean Navy school ship Esmeralda (BE-43). Long Islanders will be going down to the sea to see ships next weekend, when Glen Cove and Greenport will be co-hosts of Americas' Sail '98, a sailing competition for tall ships that left Savannah, Ga., on the Fourth of July. Vessels such as the Argentine Navy's 338-foot Libertad, the largest sailing ship in the Western Hemisphere, and the Kalmar Nyckel, a replica of the 17th-century Swedish ship that brought European settlers to the Delaware Valley, will sail into the two Long Island ports along with other vessels from the East Coast of the United States. Both towns have planned tours of the tall ships, sails with the public on board, concerts and other events during the stopover. Glen Cove's activities run through July 14 and Greenport's through July 15. Long Island is a return engagement for Americas' Sail, which stopped here during its first regatta in 1995. Host ports for the 23 ships that participated in 1995 included Oyster Bay, Greenport and Sag Harbor. The Simon Bolivar, a 270-foot, three-masted barque from Venezuela, won that competition and will be returning this week to defend her title.
