Following a spectacular third event in

(Sunday 31 July).

This final leg

will take the vessels along the southern coast of the Iberian peninsula and

includes a multi-port Cruise in Company, until they reach their final

destination in A Coruna, Spain. The deadline for arrival in A Coruna is 12pm,

The Cadiz

Parade of Sail out of the port of Cadiz is set to attract thousands of

onlookers who flocked to vantage points along the coast to see them. Cuauhtí©moc

(Mexico) will lead the fleet, followed by Christian Radich (Norway) and the

remainder of the fleet, with Amerigo Vespucci (Italy) completing what will be a

stunning procession, out of the Bay of Cadiz, before commencing to the start

position of the final race leg.

Race Start

äóìThe forecasted

conditions look to present a nice race start for the fleet after what has been

a spectacular weekend of festivities in the wonderful city of Cadiz. It has

been, and always is, a true privilege to be able to join people of different

cultures together in friendship through sail training, and the welcoming and

inviting nature throughout the city of Cadiz has made the efforts a resounding

success.äó

Raul Mimbacas,

Race Chairman, Sail Training International.

majority of The Tall Ships Races race legs, Race Three of 2016 will not be

who will greet the crews with festivities and celebrations.
