Festival of Sail 2018 Sign Ups
« on: July 21, 2018, 10:22:52 PM »

This year marks the 204th anniversary of the Festival of Sail, East Moreland's national celebration of all things nautical. Last year was the biggest celebration to date . This year the invitation to foreign vessels will again be extended as the city of Portworth opens it's doors to the world.

The festival will host historic vessels, working replicas, Military Naval vessels and vessels of other note to the harbour. In total around 2,000 ships make an appearance, some staying the full five days in dock, others merely spending a few hours. We would also like to extend our invitation not just to the vessels of the world but also the governments of the world, last year we were privileged to see many Heads of State and Government and the festival even hosted the surprise Wedding of Princess Freya and Major Alexander Redfern

The festival shall begin with an official opening ceremony at 10:30 am on the opening day, during which the King's Royal Sword shall be brought into harbour by a nominated boat. This will be accompanied by a parade of "small boats" representing sailing clubs, youth groups and keen enthusiasts, as always this parade will be ended with the Royal Robert entering the harbour. In the days that follow there will be various events taking place in the harbour, around the city and with tours of the coast conducted by a variety of vessels, including one of the Royal East Moreland Navy's newest vessel a Greenwood Class Destroyer. As usual on the closing evening a special event shall be hosted by King David III.

We look forward to welcoming you to Portworth soon.

May The Gods Watch Over You and Your Seas Be Calm

Katy Garnet
Minister of Culture and Tradition
