The Tall Ships' Races 2010 - Hartlepool

Hartlepool is proud and delighted to be chosen as a host for the prestigious Tall Ships' Races in 2010.

The town will welcome up to 125 tall ships after being chosen by race organisers Sail Training International to be the finishing point for the race.

Hartlepool will greet the ships, which will have sailed from Kristiansand in Norway on the second and final leg of the race.

The town already has good links with the tall ships and their captains after almost 40 vessels visited Hartlepool in 2005 en route to Newcastle.

During their stay, the ships will be berthed in Hartlepool Quays, and there will be a large number of special events organised in the run up and during the the huge celebrations in August 2010.

Hosting the The Tall Ships' Races further highlights Hartlepool’s well-deserved reputation as a first rate visitor destination.

For further details of the progress of the planning for this fantastic event, keep checking our website or email us and we will send you regular updates.

See you in Hartlepool in August 2010!
