Predecessor Organizations

In 1956 the Sail Training International Race Committee (STIRC) was established in Great Britain to organize a one-off international tall ship regatta. Due to the great popularity of the regatta in the public and with the ships involved, the regular Tall Ships 'Races (1973-2003 under the name Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Races ), which were still organized by the STIRC, emerged from the first regatta . It was later replaced by the British Sail Training Association or the International Sail Training Association (ISTA), a 100% subsidiary of the British Sail Training Association, whose task it was to continue to organize the Tall Ships' Races.

Today's Sail Training International was founded in 2002 by the 20 worldwide existing Sail Training Associations and organizations that promote the idea of ​​Sail Training nationwide in order to transfer the tasks of the ISTA to a new and independent organization - an organization that supports the STAs of owned and controlled by different states. A few months after its founding, Sail Training International took over the ownership of ISTA as well as its employees and the contracts with regatta and event ports.
