A very special ‘Culture Tall Ships Regatta’ will take place in Klaipeda 18 – 21 August
PHOTO: Sailors take up positions on the masts to lower the sails for the beginning of a regatta of tall ships.
This August, Klaipeda will be the starting point for a spectacular sailing event - The Culture Tall Ships Regatta 2011.
After the success of the Tall Ships Races 2009, this year Klaipeda is once again preparing for a fleet of sailboats.
The International Sail Training Organization (Sail Training International) is organizing this non-traditional regatta to mark the Finnish city Turku as ‘European Capital of Culture 2011’.
The Culture 2011 Tall Ships Regatta will be held after the Tall Ships Races 2011 and extend the Tall Ships festival season until September.
Klaipeda and Gdynia (Poland) have agreed to combine forces with Turku (Finland) and held the races in two phases: Tall Ships Regatta will start in Klaipeda, from where the fleet will race to Turku and then to Gdynia.
The Culture Tall Ships Regatta 2011 takes place 18 - 21 August.
