The Tall Ships Atlantic Challenge 2009 will be a wonderful experience for anyone with a spirit of adventure, a love of the sea, and a desire to visit new places and different cultures.
Most of the participating trainee crews will be aged 15-25, but many will be older, albeit 'young at heart'. It certainly doesn't matter if you have never been on a boat or a sailing ship before . most of the vessels taking part welcome novices as well as experienced sailors.
Getting on board to sail in the Challenge is easy. If you live in or close to one of the host ports contact:
