Sail Boston said it will scale back the Tall Ships event [Boston Globe], in an apparent compromise with Menino.

As discussed yesterday [UH], Sail Boston previously implied they would proceed with the full event despite missing a City deadline to demonstrate that they could cover public safety costs. The City estimated these costs at $2 million.

Menino says the City will not cover the estimated $2 million public safety and cleanup cost of the July Sail Boston 2009 event, but the Tall Ships remain on course for Boston, the Globe reports.

An earlier Globe piece warned of the funding issue.
