Tall Ship RACE

Tall ship race. This is it!

The Regatte de la Liberte starts in Le Havre and leads a fleet of Tall Ships through the Channel and North Sea to Scheveningen. In Scheveningen there will be a huge Freedom Festival. Our trainees can expect nice activities with the other crews in Scheveningen and The Hague after finishing the Race.

The Regatta will join L’Armada Rouen – running from 6-16 June – to help celebrate it’s 30th anniversary, creating a truly fantastic experience for the famous Tall Ships fleet and spectators alike. Coinciding with the 75th Anniversary of D-Day and the liberation of occupied territory in Northwestern Europe, the Liberty Tall Ships Regatta 2019 will echo the theme of international friendship and understanding that is central to each and every Sail Training International Tall Ships event. After racing through the English Channel/La Manche the fleet will embark on a Cruise-in-Company to Scheveningen/The Hague where there will be an invigorating port programme between 20-23 June.

An exhilarating feeder leg is planned for those ships wishing to join the intimate fleet to compete in what promises to be a challenging and exciting race to the North Sea towards Aalborg and the start of The Tall Ships Races 2019 adventure. This leg will offer additional opportunities for trainee recruitment by providing an international competition at sea.

Sail with us!

Experience the nostalgic feeling of traveling with a tall ship. The Morgenster is a fullblood sailing training ship. The many sails with their halliards, sheets and many lines requires great teamwork. The trainees are full members of the crew. They are involved in all aspects of life at sea. The sensation of real sailing with a rigged clipper brik breeds team spirit, promotes smooth cooperation and trains functional leadership. That is why we provide Sea Experience trips for various schools, nautical schools and the Royal Netherlands Navy.
