The Tall Ships Races are coming to Sunderland and you can win your own place on board.

Fancy an adventure? Here is the perfect opportunit­y.

This is a chance for one reader to win their very own place in the Tall Ships Races.

Just imagine it. You could be joining the crew of a magnificen­t vessel as you race from Sunderland to Esbjerg in Denmark.

And to stand a chance of winning, all you have to do is answer three questions. The competitio­n is brought to you by the Fans Museum in conjunctio­n with the Sunderland Echo.

Fans Museum founder Michael Ganley had the innovative idea last November to run a competitio­n, and first port of call was to get involved a life-long friend Tim Finley, who owns TF Shipping Ltd of Boldon Business Park.

Michael said: “This is giving people an opportunit­y who might not normally be in this remit. It gives a chance for people to get on board.

“It is the chance to experience something that really could change someone’s life.

“It is about people and it is about the community.

“For the Fans Museum, it is about being able to say ‘we are willing to work with organisati­ons and we are keen to support them’.” The ship that the winner will sail on will only be revealed once the winner has been decided upon. That’s because the chosen ship will depend on the particular circumstan­ces of the winner.

But it’s a chance for anyone from a complete sailing novice upwards to enter the competitio­n.

The only thing the winner will be asked to do is log a diary and take videos and photograph­s for a permanent reminder of a never-to-be-forgotten experience.

So come on, get entering and below are some more details on a great competitio­n.

And make sure you follow the Fans Museum on social media through @FansMuseum on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram.
