The Tall Ships Races 2027 – Update

12 November 2026

Statement from Sail Training International on The Tall Ships Races 2027 and A Coruña

Sail Training International has been informed by A Coruña City Council that the city will no longer host The Tall Ships Races 2027.

We are disappointed by this decision. A Coruña has welcomed the fleet many times over the years, and we thank the city for its long support of the Races.

Our priority is the success of The Tall Ships Races next summer. We are in positive and advanced discussions with another port in the region to host the fleet as the second port of the series, with the stopover planned for the original dates of 16 to 19 July.

The Tall Ships Races 2027 will go ahead, with Bordeaux and Sines hosting as planned. We will confirm the details of the second port as soon as they are finalised, and we are grateful to the fleet, crews and partners for their patience in the meantime.
