The “Tall Ships” are back for this summer as part of a transatlantic race covering 7,000 nautical miles and visiting six countries over five months. From July 29 to August 1, 2017, Halifax will welcome the international Tall Ships fleet for the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta.

Nova Scotia’s sailing ambassador Bluenose II will be front and centre during the event, showcasing our seafaring history and sail training passion.

As the start line for the Rendez-Vous 2017 Tall Ships Regatta, we are excited to welcome the world to Halifax and Nova Scotia in 2017.
