Some of these vessels are specially adapted to provide places for trainees with physical or mental challenges which would normally preclude them from such adventure-based activities.\u00a0 They also cater and provide a number of tall ship places for young people from socially or economically deprived backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Many young people participating in these race events describe it as making a real change in their lives with opportunities to develop key life skills such as teamwork, increased self-esteem and confidence, personal responsibility and leadership skills.\u00a0 And because the opportunities are worldwide they can also develop greater awareness, understanding and respect for people from different cultures and socio-economic backgrounds.<\/p>\n<p>Today there are numerous events held all over the world including the Mediterranean, Adriatic, North America and the Caribbean, alongside the well-established North Sea and Baltic events.\u00a0 Public interest is immense \u2013 making Tall Ships Race Events one the world\u2019s largest spectator attendance of any sport of exhibition worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>And don\u2019t worry there\u2019s plenty of opportunity for those over the age of 25 to experience the wonder of sailing on these tall ships.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re more of the adventurous type looking to take part in a hands-on role in a leg of a race there are a number of organisations worldwide that organise these trips.\u00a0 Alternatively at the other end of the spectrum, you can also enjoy a <a title=\"Star Clippers\" href=\"http:\/\/www.starclippers.co.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">luxury experience<\/a> aboard a tall ship in the Caribbean \u2013 where you can dream of swashbuckling pirates without the fear of actually seeing them!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/iStock_000004298002Small.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"2086\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/tall-ships\/istock_000004298002small\/#main\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/iStock_000004298002Small-e1364742086725.jpg?fit=696%2C461&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"696,461\" data-comments-opened=\"0\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;0&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"iStock_000004298002Small\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/iStock_000004298002Small-e1364742086725.jpg?fit=696%2C461&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-2086\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/lovesail.com\/ls-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/03\/iStock_000004298002Small-300x200.jpg?resize=300%2C200\" alt=\"tall ships\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Join <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lovesail.com\">Lovesail<\/a> and find sailing soulmates for high sea adventures.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tall Ships Today Tall ships, by nature, conjure up images of beautiful examples of historic, traditionally rigged sailing vessels from bygone days that sailed the seven seas in all their grandeur.\u00a0 In those days, however, there were many outside influences that made sailing in these tall ships a hazardous journey.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":2086,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[6479],"tags":[149,307],"class_list":["post-2077","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-discover","tag-tall-ships","tag-tall-ships-race"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v27.4 (Yoast SEO v27.4) -
