	In 2011, the Tall Ships will race between Waterford, Greenock, Lerwick, Stavanger and Halmstad. Lerwick is the welcoming city after the "cruise in company" leg and the starting port for the Second race to Stavanger.

	Jawik - do we know what boat types these "tall ships" are? The only historic polars SOL has, at the moment anyway, are the Viking longship, a Clippership and a Square rigger. I am no sailor let alone one versed in historial vessels so.. maybe someone can help us out here. Are you proposing that we copy the Tall Ships race? I do hope so as I think it would be a lot of fun!!

	Please consider a Tea Clipper race from China to London, England. Please also consider including the waters in the docks of the ports. Maneuvering large square riggers in narrow channels would be a welcome difference from just an 'open ocean' race. If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

	A Clipper will do the task but see here for vessels calling into Lerwick. The race it self is starting from Lerwick to Stavanger. We can see a sailing map on the first web page at bottom. Can we copy thisfrom Waterford to Halmstad ? Can we take contact with Sail Training Intl and offer them to follow the race with a tracer and SOL ? We are going out with S/Y SEBI to meet the flotilla/race if we are ready at that time - Lerwick to Stavanger and if we have our new rig on board. And perhaps we will start the race from Lerwick with SEBI. Has not notified us yet but the idea is to place SEBI in it. High Flying Ideas The crew of S / Y SEBI is only my wife and myself, but together we have over 125 years of knowledge to sail alone. +50 feet - tomaster and lots of fun on board. SEBI is a converted old Swedish lady of mahogany and oak. So I have two older women to struggle with at sea. And I'm just a man doing the best he can --- Last Edited by NOR Jawik at 2011-05-08 09:55:02 --- ---------------- edited to make links out of urls to fit column width --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-06-26 18:53:45 ---

	Jawik - please do post a pic of SEBI - she sounds beautiful!! Yes, of course SOL would "do" the individual legs of the Tall Ships 2011 - as detailed here. As for taking up a contact with the organisers... that's a great idea ... it might prove to be too short notice for this year BUT it never hurts to ask! Do you have a tracker on SEBI? If not, then JuJu who used his tracker for @Zeno in the Lets Get Out of This Country race recently is very prepared to let other SOLers use it - its a small and very portable device!! If this idea appeals just sing out (via email to me if you like: jsbcoo7@aol.com) and I will put you in touch with JuJu. This is going to be fun!!

	I must say you are quick on the trigger RC. We hope that the response from STI is positive. We do not have tracker on board but plan to purchase one before we put out to sea. We are still waiting for a new main mast and rigging so we can move forward from last year when we were on our way south to warmer areas. The two ladies like to sail hard and the result came when I discovered that the main mast was about to take a trip on her own. SEBI is now stripped down so we wait until she is presentable to go before we take some pictures. She is a determined woman who does not like that we are ruining her make-up. The rules for participating in STI is that we need to get two young people between 15 and 25 on board. If this becomes relevant, we consider this as we approach the start from Lerwick.

	Having seen Belem come past us outside Brest last week, I think that a generic AIS tracker would probably work if the route goes through the areas covered by Marine Traffic- it would also cover multiple targets All the Tall ships would have AIS I think as you need it over 300 tons. You probably don't need STI's approval as the data is publicly available although it would be polite and a good tie-in ----------- edited to re-jig the AIS link --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-06-26 18:56:56 ---

	Jawik - did you see the email I forwarded on to you with the polar 76T has created/found? Once the 'Gods have set it up in the database we can test it out. As 76T said it is a "potential polar for a "Gorch Fock" class sail-training 3 masted barque. (Class A under STI's scheme) based in a roundabout way on notes from one of her officers." So... 'tis a work in progress!! --- Last Edited by RainbowChaser at 2011-05-14 17:36:18 ---

	I note with some interest that the Gorch Foch has a double spanker on the mizzen. Is there a correct name for the 'spanker-topsail'? If it breaks, it's not strong enough--if it doesn't, it's too heavy.

This is an archipelago located on the northern Pacific coast of Canada. In SOL, we last raced on this route in 2012 and few people remember what happened there. Prepare your Riptide 50 well, it's going to be a lot of fun.

Newport Bermuda Race 2024

The 636-mile biennial Newport Bermuda Race is one of the oldest regularly scheduled ocean races, and with the Fastnet Race and the Sydney to Hobart Race, it is one of the three great classic races of the yachting world. Founded in 1906, this 53rd running of the Bermuda Race can again also be participated in online.
Entries are invited for one of the four divisions:
Double-Handed Division:
Jeanneau Sun Fast 3600
St. David's Lighthouse Division:
Santa Cruz 52
Gibbs Hill Lighthouse Division:
Judel Vrolijk 62
Finisterre Division:
Riptide 50
Details for each yacht are available in the ‘Particulars’ links below. As in real life, you can only sail one boat in one division, so choose your virtual yacht carefully, and because of the unusual (for SOL) 4-division nature of the event, please note results will not count towards any Sailonline rankings.
