The Tall Ships Races 2023 announces first ports

Tall Ships Races International, a subsidiary of Sail Training International, has announced that Den Helder (The Netherlands), Hartlepool (UK), Fredrikstad (Norway) and Lerwick (UK) have been selected to be the host ports of The Tall Ships Races 2023.

“We’re delighted to welcome these four returning host ports, who each have a fantastic history hosting the tall ships races. We are confident that they will each once again provide a spectacular reception for the tall ships fleet and that together they will embrace Sail Training International’s mission of youth development and international friendship and understanding,” says COO Alan James.

Tall Ships Races International Ltd. is currently seeking to contract a fifth host port to complete the 2023 series (contact Vanessa Mori).

The race series will offer trainees an opportunity to participate in a variety of sail training experiences along with options for international vessel operators to build a strong base for trainee recruitment. For the international tall ships fleet, it will offer an exciting racecourse including thrilling shorter racing, longer more challenging routes and scenic cruises on offer throughout the legs.
