No places available anymore – Tall Ships Races 2015 – Race 1: Belfast (North Ireland) – Aalesund (Norway). Race with the Bark Europa between the Northern Irish city of Belfast and the Norwegian Aalesund. There will be a lot of different nationalities on board so nice if you like to sail with an international crew. Trainees from the Netherlands, Australia, UK, Sweden, Belgium, USA, Denmark, Norway, Lithuania etc. Open to all ages and nationalities, 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.
