Vernon Harten-Ash MD, MBA WG’94

Great pleasure to announce that I will be assisting the international Tall Ships Race in the Baltic, Europe in June 2021 with crew safety and developing fleet resilience against Covid-19. Sixty or more Tall Ships are expected with crews from around the world including the US, UK, Russia, and many more, organized by Sail Training International.  Total crew numbers are expected to be in the region of 4 – 5,000 on board all the vessels. Spectator numbers in normal times may reach 250,000 – 600,000 at each port. If you are planning to be on board a vessel, then please contact me.  Additionally, if you see corporate benefit in supporting a US or international charity developing young people via the medium of the sea, please reach out, it would be great to hear from you.
