About Valborg and the Tall Ships Races
Sail training ship s/v Valborg prepared for and participated in the 2025 Tall Ship Races. Valborg sailed again in the North Sea and for the first time to France!
s/v Valborg was built in 1948 as a cargo ship. Since remaining too small and old fashioned for cargo transportation, she became the property of the scouts in the late 70’s. Her interior was rebuilt for overnight staying. Valborg was completely renovated and equipped for open sea sailing in the late 90’s. Valborg now provides unforgettable adventures for the youth.
