Tall Ships Race 2008

Tall Ships Race 2008 - revised prices

In July and August Gordonstoun's 80' Sail Training Vessel, Ocean Spirit of Moray will be taking part in this year's Tall Ships Race to Norway. It is a fantastic opportunity to sail for extended periods of time in some tricky waters and to experience the camaraderie of life on board a magnificent vessel during racing conditions. Add to this the excitement and fun of the Tall Ships Festivals and interaction with crews from all over the world and you will have an unforgettable experience of a lifetime!

Due to some additional sponsorship we are now able to reduce the cost of both Leg 1 and Leg 2.

Leg 1 Scotland to Måløy, Norway
10th July – 3rd August  24 Nights

£1,200 (includes flight from Bergen to UK) - reduced from £1,800

The first leg departs from the West Coast of Scotland for a two day passage to participate in the Small Ships Race in the Clyde, possibly visiting Glasgow before a two day passage race to Liverpool.

The Tall Ships Festival at Liverpool is followed by a training passage to N. Ireland and then the start of a ten day race to Norway. The race routes to the West of Scotland and North of Shetland to finish off Måløy in Norway. 

Transport back to the UK after two days of the Måløy Tall Ships Festival will be via boat to Bergen before returning to the UK by air.

Leg 2 Måløy to Inverness
2nd – 15th August   14 nights

£750 (includes flight from UK to Bergen) - reduced from £1,000

Join Ocean Spirit for two days of the Tall Ships festival in Måløy, Norway before departing on a five day ‘cruise in company’ with the Tall Ships fleet along the spectacular coastline to Bergen.  Ports on the route will offer entertainment and festivities for the visiting vessels before the fleet reassembles in Bergen for a major four day event. 

When the fleet leaves Bergen with a parade of sail, Ocean Spirit will depart on a four day passage to Inverness where the voyage will end.
