Ready for adventure on the open seas? Join the crew and trainees from all over the World for the first leg of the Tall Ship Races 2015, on board the Vega Gamleby. Together you’ll compete against a strong field of Tall Ship contestants in the biggest sail race of the year. Meet new friends, find new horizons, and race from Belfast to Aalesund on a traditional three-masted topsail schooner. On board you will flex muscles you didn’t know you had, and learn the ropes in an exciting race that will take you between the Scottish isles and across the ever unpredictable North Sea. Your Journey starts in Belfast and ends with an epic crew party in Aalesund, where you’ll undoubtedly trade war stories with trainees from the other ships. Open for all ages, minimum age 15 years.
Belfast is the capital and the largest city of Northern Ireland. It started out as a small hamlet with fertile land along the mouth of the Lagan. Soon, marauders and pirates realised Belfast’s lough was deep and their shores were the perfect haven for repairing sea ravaged ships. Today Belfast is a wonderful city to explore! Visit the Titanic quarter waterfront, the Ulster Museum, or the Odyssey area where you'll find lots of entertainment. And spend some time in one of Belfast's many pubs.
Ålesund is once again host port for The Tall Ships Races in 2015. Ålesund harboured the event for the first time in 2001, in an intimate harbour amongst beautiful fjords, mountains and islands. Consisting out of seven islands, Ålesund is a modern city. In 1904 the city, once built largely of wood, was completely burned down by a sea of flames. After a period of planning, the town was rebuilt in stone, brick, and mortar in Jugendstil.
"I have learned that despite my small size, I can do anything if I put my mind to it."
