Sail Training Shetland are pleased to be able to offer fourteen sail training placements to take part in this year’s Tall Ships Races, for young people between the ages of 15 – 25 years.

The closing date for receiving applications has now passed and we giving consideration to selection of trainees for these placements.  Placements offered will either be onboard Shetland’s own sail training vessel the ‘Swan’ or Norwegian Tall Ship ‘Christian Radich’.  Both vessels will be taking part in the second race across the North Sea from Kristiansand, Norway to Hartlepool in the UK.  You can read more information on the 2010 Races from The Tall Ships Races website.  Successful trainees will depart from Shetland on or about Wednesday 28 July 2010 and will return to Shetland on Tuesday 10 August 2010.
