Southampton is used to being the focus for world-class yachting events such as the BT Global Challenge, the Volvo Ocean Race and the annual International Boat Show. Tall Ships 2000 will be no exception.
The event is expected to attract thousands of visitors from all over the world who will witness the sight of these majestic vessels as they leave Southampton on their epic transatlantic voyage.
Please beware - Southampton is a busy working dock with heavy traffic and some uneven walkways. We recommend that visitors wear walking shoes and bring wet weather gear.
