THE TALL SHIPS' RACES

THE TALL SHIPS' RACES MEDITERRANEA

The Tall Ships' Races are held every summer all over the world. Each year between 70 and 100 vessels from 15-20 countries, crewed by some 5-6,000 people from over 30 countries worldwide, take part in this unique event that combines four days of activities in each port with racing or cruising-in-company between ports.

During the race series the crews get the chance to gain experience by sailing with their contemporaries from other countries while facing the physical and emotional challenges that only the ocean can provide.

This year "Father Murphy" will join this Regatta. If you want to be a part of this amazing event then this is your chance. You will get a real sail training! But also for the sailors with a lot of experience this cannot be missed.

You will join a programme of instruction in sail handling, navigation, passage making, safety at sea and ship management. But the purpose goes far beyond this. Everybody will learn a lot about themselves, discover hidden strengths and talents and understand the value of working as a team. You will learn all the aspects of education at sea.

So if you have the time, the guts and the right attitude between the 15th of June and the 15th of August... then don't hesitate! Subscribe and get a real Sail experience!
