Every year a Cruise in Company leg is part of The Tall Ships Races. This leg is not a competitive event, but a cruise of friendship and adventure. This year, the Cruise in Company leg is between Greenock and Lerwick and ships will have 9 days on this 484 nautical mile journey (shortest route) over the top of Britain. This gives ships the chance to visit many places both along the Scottish coastline and within the 12 selected guest harbours that are buzzing with excitement ready to welcome the fleet.
A full events programme for the Tall Ships Races in Lerwick is also available from a variety of local outlets.
