Planning for 2017

4 December 2015

While bookings for 2016 are starting to pick up and the ship is getting back in shape we have time to look at the future. Yesterday we had a meeting on board our office ship with our fellow Dutch Tall Ships ‘Tecla’ and bark ‘Europa’. We have been invited to participate in the Transatlantic Tall Ships’ Regatta 2017. 
The Regatta will start from Royal Greenwich in April 2017 before crossing the North Atlantic to the USA, various ports in Canada and the Gulf of St Lawrence, Quebec City (18 – 23 July 2017), and finally return to Europe early September 2017.
It’s a long and exciting trip and worth checking if we are able to go there. In January the Sail Training International Conference will be held in Quebec. A great opportunity to talk to the host ports and explore further.
