The newly-launched Sir Stelios is a Marine Society & Sea Cadets training ship which flies under the British flag and is based in the Solent, providing nautical adventures for young people in the waters around the UK and the near continent.
The Rustler 42 yacht was built in Falmouth and is the MSSC’s second training ship, after the TS City of London which is also competing in the Three Festivals Tall Ships Regatta.
One of the youngest ships in the race, the TS City of London was launched two years ago and is operated by the Marine Society & Sea Cadets charity.
The sea cadets will hope they are on a wave too after City of London’s MSSC stablemate, the TS Royalist, won last year’s Tall Ships Race, bringing home a haul of trophies.
