About Us

Shetland Tall Ships Ltd was the company responsible for planning and delivering the Tall Ships Races 2023 visit to Lerwick.

The company was a not-for-profit business, set up specifically to deliver the event for the fleet and the community of Shetland.

A voluntary board of Directors oversaw the delivery of the event and the Project Manager, who in turn managed the staff and contractors.
