Home Activities Grades 6 - 9 High School University Tales from the Crew: Discover the World of Tall Ship Sailing

Have you ever wondered what life on board a tall ship is like? Have you ever thought about participating in sail training, but don’t know where to start? Ships2Shores is excited to bring you an opportunity to get a glimpse inside Canada’s sail training world! The Tales from the Crew Series is a chance for youth across Canada with an interest in sailing to connect with those who have experienced the wonders of sailing on board tall ships. Over the coming months, we’ll feature special guests from various Canadian sail training programs, including Picton Castle’s Bosun School, Écomaris, and Bluenose II. You’ll engage with a diverse group of sail training alumni and current participants, hear their exciting stories, and learn more about the opportunities and benefits of life on the water!

In this month’s session, we’ll be speaking to tall ship sailors Leticia, Chloe & Eloise, who have sailed with S.A.L.T.S., Bluenose II, and the Bosun School, amongst others. They’ll have tons of adventures to share!
