Duke of Edinburgh Award / International Award
Are you doing your Duke of Edinburgh Award (DofE)? Then you must be between 14 and 25 years old.Are you going up for your Golden Medal? Then you must be looking for a Residential.
Did you know that sailing on a Tall Ship during the Tall Ships Races is an approved Residential? Well it is!
On board of the Tall Ships you will become part of the crew, you will have to sail the vessel as a team, experience the elements in the raw and you will be faced with decisions, adventures, maybe problems but also solutions on a daily basis.
The permanent crew on board will be there to guide you during the experience of a live time. When you sign in with At Sea Sail Training, mention that you are doing your DofE and that the race will be your Residential. We will make sure the vessel and your watch leader will be informed. They will have the necessary information about the DofE and the forms to complete your assessment.
On the website of the Duke of Edinburgh Award you will find us under Sailing and Water Activities.
You don’t know what Duke of Edinburgh is, but you would like to know more? Please check out the DofE website.

The gloomy mood of our first mile on the way to `The Battle of DrakeŽ is suddenly interrupted when Klaas yells out `Whale off the starboard bow!”
All the crew reacts promptly and even de masts bend over to starboard to see what’s going on. The goodbye-to-Antarctica sadness prompts everybody to feast their eyes on this last antarctic treat.
Somebody somewhere must have thrown a small fortune in the whale-machine. We get to see four whales playing together in a quarter of a mile circle around Europa. Every lack of a diving whale tail in any camera is made good.
The four are toying with us: disappearing and surface right next to our ship, swim under the ship from port to starboard, wave a white fin at us, demonstrate skills in backstroke… Antarctica does not let us go yet.
A ship full of people applauds the whale-show and is two bits less sad for the moment.
