SOL is honoured to be allowed to participate virtually in The Tall Ships Races 2011, presented by Szczecin, organised by Sail Training International. This year's races will be held in European waters. After having read about these beautiful historic ships and seen them in many movies and on television, throughout our lifetimes, SOLers can now 'sail' them and make navigational decisions in real weather! That will surely bring surprises while offering a total educational experience, both for sailors of modern boats and for 'wannabe' Salts of all ages. This experience runs parallel to Sail Training International's mission - the development and education of young people through the sail training experience, regardless of nationality, culture, religion, gender or social background. Both endeavours, Sail Training International and SOL, are Labours of Love, counting heavily on volunteer support with financial gain excluded from the equation. There are four classes in the real races, ranging from the biggest Class A Square Rigged ships of more than 40m in length, through to the smallest sloop. Sail Training International has provided SOL with the sailing characteristics of all four classes so SOL participants can choose the class of their choice. Subject to the whims of marine electronics, SOL expects to have at least one member from each real class displayed on our race screen, so you can race real ships as well as each other. SOL races will follow the real race schedule. Race One starts in Waterford, Ireland. It runs clockwise around that island, and ends in Greenock, Scotland. The Cruise-in-Company will be from Greenock to Lerwick in Shetland. Race Two will be from Shetland to Stavanger, Norway. Race Three then goes to Halmstad, Sweden. Once available, SOL will also have a link to the Tall Ships Racetracker, provided by Yellowbrick Tracking, which will follow all the real ships racing. newsartist and RainbowChaser ![Polars](http://www.sailonline.org/static/var/sphene/sphwiki/attachment/2011/06/25/TallshipPolars400.png) ************************

New Ice Age 2026 - Scott Base to Neumayer Station


To complete our DN circumnavigation of Antarctica and our 4-race ice-boat marathon series, we continue clockwise, now departing from Scott Base back to Neumayer Station. It’s about 3500nm back as well, which, as said if there’s wind at all, should, well-wrapped in your DN-cockpits, not take you much more than five days. And remember: charts down here are unreliable – what is land and what is ice?!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Tenerife to Fernando de Noronha


The sixth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back up the Atlantic to Tenerife, from whence we will depart on a classic transatlantic passage to Brazil’s Fernando de Noronha. It’s 2150nm as the albatross flies, but you will undoubtedly have to take some and sometimes sudden detours to get your Volvo 70v4 through the doldrums stretching across your path from the Amazon to the Niger.
