Liaison officers

If it was not for liaison officers no maritime event could take place.
 
 

Who is the liaison officer?

This is the designated first point of contact between the vessels and the event organisers. Laisons are easily recognised by their distinctive red T-shirts.

A Liaison Officer is assigned to each vessel participating in events such as The Tall Ships Races finals, Sails or Oldtimer rallies. he/she takes comprehensive care of the crew – from welcoming and handing over the welcome packets, through participation in the sailing, to ongoing organisational support throughout the event. They are passionate sailors, additionally trained in first aid, cooperation with law enforcement services and well acquainted with the topography of the city and the event schedule. They know where to look for solutions to even the most unusual requests :)

In recent years, a formation of Volunteers has also been introduced – their task is to support the Officers. Unlike them, they wear yellow T-shirts.
