They have been raising the sails for some years now on the annual turn-around cruise every Fourth of July. I don't know the entire protocol but I assume weather plays into the equation as to how many sails get raised. I believe all the tow lines are cast away.
Last week the harbor played host to a Tall Ships convention. Don't know the exact number of ships but probably more that two dozen. I am sure that if one were to search on "tall ships boston" there would be a lot of hits including info on the Constitution. I am 25 miles from the harbor.
