Sailing for education

The Tall Ships Races, the most famous international Tall Ship School Races, are organized by the charity Sail Training International. For the past 70 years, the latter's vocation has been to introduce young people aged 15 to 25, from all social backgrounds, to sailing at sea aboard majestic yachts.

The credo of Sail Training International, is to offer experiential learning which, beyond the acquisition of sailing techniques, will enable apprentices to work cooperatively, rediscover themselves, gain self-confidence, strengthen their resilience but above all, experience an extraordinary human adventure.
