Tall Ships Races 2018: Race 2. Join the Grossherzogin Elisabeth (or, as she is affectionately called: Lissi) in Bergen before sailing to Stavanger, the Tall Ships Races port. From there you will race dozens of other Tall Ships, small Ships and Yachts to Harlingern in the Netherlands. Upon arrival you can expect many activities, such as Crew Party and Crew Parade. Experience Tall Ship sailing on Lissi and take part in the biggest annual Tall Ship event of the year! Open to young Windseekers between 16 and 25 years old.

Programme Outline

Ports

Bergen is the gateway to the Fjords of Norway and a well-established cruise port. It's an international city packed with history and tradition, a big city with small-town charm and atmosphere. Stroll around old streets and alleyways, and mingle with the crowds at the Fish Market. Saunter along the listed wooden buildings at Bryggen to the old fortress at Bergenhus, or call in at one of Bergen’s museums and galleries. The panoramic views of the city, the fjord and the ocean are breathtaking.

Harlingen is a trade and fishing port in Friesland, the Netherlands. The town itself is over a thousand years old, and you’ll find several historic streets in the old city centre. Its small size makes it easy to explore the town on foot. In 2014 Harlingen was a port of call for the Tall Ships Races. The town operates ferry lines to the Frisian Islands, a unique nature reserve with populations of seals, birds, and other wildlife. With its ‘gezellige’ pubs the town is a great place for a stopover.

    – by Captain Gijs

    Finally, after two and a half days of motor sailing, we are able to carry on under sail alone. A bit later than expected, but still very welcome, the ESE-ly winds have filled our sails again. Progress has been good …

    – by Killian Borland (17)
