What does a Tall Ship Race include?
The Tall Ships Races are an International Youth Festival organised by Sail Training international. Ships from all over the world will converge to bring together young people from different continents to take part in the event aimed at encouraging global friendships and understanding. Between the ports the ships will race each other, a spectacle to behold! T S Pelican has a reputation for being very competitive in the Tall Ships Races. In port, the crews are encouraged to represent their ship in a number of free activities organised by the host ports. This includes the crew parade, sports events such as 5-aside football and other local sports, cultural events, museum and cultural visits as well as the crew parties. You will also have the opportunity to visit all of the other ships. Usually, each ship holds an event onboard and you may get an opportunity to attend on of these. Previous crew from Pelican have been invited to an Arabian breakfast, a Mexican Lunch and Russian Beef and Choco
