Introducing Full Circle

Turn to Starboard and Invictus Games Birmingham 2027 have launched Full Circle, a 2,000-nautical-mile circumnavigation of the UK by two tall ships. Full Circle is a 12-week sailing expedition carrying the Invictus Games Flag around the UK ahead of Birmingham 2027. Two traditionally rigged tall ships – Pellew and Spirit of Falmouth – will undertake the 2,000-nautical-mile journey, calling at 22 ports across all four nations.

The voyage will carry the inspirational message of the Games through the Invictus flag as it is carried from Vancouver, Canada to the UK to join the Full Circle team’s expedition, marking a year to the games commencing in Birmingham. The epic adventure began on 17 March 2026, departing from Falmouth and travelling anticlockwise around the UK before returning to Falmouth on 11 June 2026. The journey will build momentum ahead of the official one-year-to-go until Invictus Games Birmingham 2027 event in July 2026.

The voyage will highlight the work that Turn to Starboard do using sailing as non-clinical therapeutic adventure as part of a veteran recovery journey.
