The STI Tall Ships’ Races The most exciting, challenging summer adventure imaginable

The Tall Ships are coming to port near you...

The STI Tall Ships’ Races is open to anybody under the age of 25 to take part. You will be escorted to the boat in any of four international harbours, joining over 100 other Ships and thousands of under 25’s to pit your wits at sea, in one of the greatest races on earth.


Gruelling sailing, night watches, sun burn, salt spray green waves over the deck, tacking and gybing your way to the finish line in a far off country. Awaiting you there are hundreds of thousands of spectators, well wishers, parties, parades, fairground rides, and a celebration of Youth and International Friendship like nothing else you can imagine.
