International Exchanges

Racing at high speed during the Tall Ships Races together with a great variety of nationalities. That’s an International Exchange! Besides actively sailing the ocean you will connect with other cultures. Mentors will come along to make sure everything goes smoothly. English is the official language aboard these sponsored trips for youth between the age of 18 and 25. A working knowledge of this language is therefore a necessity. We organise great activities to mix up the nationalities. Action and having a laugh together in a cross-cultural setting; that’s what it’s all about.

Tecla - 25 Februari 2010 - Getting Ready for the Races!

The Tecla is moored alongside the dockyard in Benicarlo. We are working hard on getting the ship ready for her annual check. And of course to get a fresh paint job on her.

Last year we crossed the ocean, we even won the Trans Atlantic Challenge, and this year we are out to discover more!! And we have new sails coming up! On the docks we will clean the hull so no more Bermudan seaweed clinging on. And loads of new countries to visit, so nothing can stop us! The race will be on!!

The sails are made by Arjen Kooij, the cousin of Jan. They are specially designed for the Tecla and more so to race!! On our blog we have already shown a few pictures of the sail when Gijs and Arjen where still working on them. They are ready now, and as soon as they are on board (after we have docked) we will post some more pictures.

Hope to see you all on board!!

Crew Tecla
