Trainees Looking Forward to The Tall Ships Races

June 30, 2010

As part of our competition to win an iPod touch we have asked trainees what they are most looking forward to about taking part in The Tall Ships Races 2010.  We have had some great responses and thought we would share some of them with you:

“To meet my international Tall Ships friends again, to fool around at

the crew parades and to experience the magic of The Tall Ships Races

environment.  But sailing will always be the number one, the sound of

the sea, the smell of the waves, the warmth of the sun.  Just love it!”

“Meeting old friends as well as making new ones.  Visiting Norway as I have never been.  Racing on a new yacht and also seeing how great Hartlepool will be as it has been a long 5 years in the making” – Samantha Jackson, UK, sailing onboard Class C vessel Challenger 1

“Reunion with all my great sailor friends! Also looking forward to

winning The race onboard Class A Tall Ship – Mir!” – Benedikte Foldby

Jakobsen, Denmark, sailing onboard Class A vessel Mir
