We are only weeks away from The Tall Ships Challenge which I first posted about back in February but apparently according to The Royal Gazette there are still places on board for intrepid whipper-snappers:

The Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge 2009 still has trainee berths available for persons aged 15-30 wanting to take part in a historic 7,000 nautical mile journey across the North Atlantic.

I’m gob-smacked. I would have thought all the positions would have been snapped up ages ago. Desn’t it seem like a wild and romantic, once-in-a-lifetime kind of opportunity to you? Setting off across the Atlantic with the wind in your hair and your heart a-pumping. Sigh.

Kate Winslett would have had nothing on me 15 years ago let me tell you.

Should anyone feel the urge to throw caution to the wind and get to grips with some rigging, then Tall Ships Bermuda is the place to apply.

  1. They’re all on their way to Bermuda now! The Spirit of Bermuda was leading for awhile but just get edged out by Jolie Bris (UK).

    It will be a lot of fun to watch and especially great for all the younger generation participating, as crew hands. That’s the best part of these events.

  2. Hi
    Obviously I’m a newbie here. I found this site through google search and I found this forum interesting so I drop by.
    Thanks for welcoming me in advance!
