Tall Ships' Races

Tall Ships’ Races are inextricable bound with yachting. Every year since 1956 about a hundred participating ships from many continents compete while sailing a route in between ports. And whatever harbour the fleet anchors, there is always a great party. You will march in a parade, there are games and competitions for both crowd and crew (rowing or a tug of war for instance), concerts and marvellous fireworks. During the festival the ports are swamped with hundreds of thousands spectators from afar who want to experience this great spectacle. The ships’ crews can use some extra hands and you can be part of the teams!

These races are divided into several legs. So the start of your leg can be the end of a leg for someone else. You can decide for yourself which kind of leg you would like to take part in. Often the race has several races and a Cruise in Company. The latter speaks for itself; you ‘cruise’ together. So relax, no rush and swop places for a day with trainees of the other ships. And racing? Do we need to say more? Be the first who crosses that finishing line!

In 2010 At Sea Sail Training organises several trips during the Tall Ships' Races: Garibali Tall Ships' Regatta 2010, Historical Seas Tall Ships' Regatta, Tall Ships' Races 2010, North Sea Tall Ships Regatta. We would like you to take part in one of the various trips during these one-of-a-kind Tall Ships’ Race – 2010.

Tecla - 25 Februari 2010 - Getting Ready for the Races!

The Tecla is moored alongside the dockyard in Benicarlo. We are working hard on getting the ship ready for her annual check. And of course to get a fresh paint job on her.

Last year we crossed the ocean, we even won the Trans Atlantic Challenge, and this year we are out to discover more!! And we have new sails coming up! On the docks we will clean the hull so no more Bermudan seaweed clinging on. And loads of new countries to visit, so nothing can stop us! The race will be on!!

The sails are made by Arjen Kooij, the cousin of Jan. They are specially designed for the Tecla and more so to race!! On our blog we have already shown a few pictures of the sail when Gijs and Arjen where still working on them. They are ready now, and as soon as they are on board (after we have docked) we will post some more pictures.

Hope to see you all on board!!

Crew Tecla
