An Exciting Day Ahead

The first crew parade and prize giving ceremony for The Tall Ships Races 2012 will take place tomorrow afternoon in St Malo as hundreds of trainees will take to the streets dressed in colourful and often imaginative hand made costumes.  

Trainees have been busy competing in sports competitions today ahead of a crew party this evening.  The party is always enjoyed in every port as the international crews join together to celebrate The Tall Ships Races and an exciting voyage ahead.
