Hi,
I'd be interested in helping if there is to be any 'handicapping' of Tall Ships. I am a former Tall Ships Race director and was involved in the development of the STA/STI Rating Rule.

CRUISE IN COMPANY - Helsinki to Riga

Welcome to Helsinki - second host city for this year's Tall Ships Races 2013, presented by Szczecin, organised by Sail Training International.

The Tall Ships are in port until Saturday, 20 July, when they will leave to find their own way to Riga. The Cruise-in-Company phase of Tall Ships racing offers opportunities for crew exchanges and inter-crew competitions. No such respite for SOLers, however, who will leave Helsinki at the same time as the real fleet but will race on to Riga. The real ships will continue to be tracked via Yellowbrick trackers and will also be findable via AIS/marinetraffic.

Sailonline's second ship in this year's tall ships events is a Full Rigger.

2013-07-17 17:09:02 - Re: Tall Ships Racing 2013 - Cruise in Company
So, what is this Cruise in Company (CinC)?

Since 1964 the pattern of a Tall Ships’ Race series has usually been a Race followed by a CinC and then a second Race.

The series is designed for some 3,000 young people between the ages of 15 and 25 from some twenty or more countries. In port at the end of the first race, and partly as a result of the crews having experienced challenge and competition, many friendships are formed among the crews.

Before the start of the CinC, Captains are encouraged to “swop” some of their youngsters with some from another ship, preferably one of a different type and nationality. There is also some “buddying up” between groups of ships who then arrange to overnight together in a chosen port on route.

Often they choose somewhere remote so that they can have barbeques on a beach and have a change from the buzz of the more formal programmes at the terminal ports.

Lycamobile Mediterranean Tall Ships Regatta 2013

Momentum building in the Med

Countdown to fun in the sun

Welcome to Barcelona where the Lycamobile Tall Ships Mediterranean Regatta 2013 gets under way under the auspices of Sail Training International. Sailonline is delighted to be continuing its association with Sail Training International for this regatta and will be running virtual tall ships races in parallel with the real ones.

The Tall Ships festival in Barcelona begins on Saturday, 21 September, and ships will be remaining in port until Tuesday, 24 September, when they will race from Barcelona to Toulon - race start is at 1400utc.

The real ships continue to be tracked via Yellowbrick trackers so you can watch their progress - Sailonline has within-race a small group of tall ships that perform similarly to its 90m Barque. You can also get an overview of all marine traffic in the area from AIS.

See the Races Forum Thread for other useful links and background info!

And now our thoughts turn to tall ships in the Southern Hemisphere - if you haven't already been following along in Facebook, now is your chance to catch up.

Australian Festival
Tall Ships Festival Sydney

Sydney to Auckland Regatta

Fireworks Video "teaser"

Setting sail from Sydney next week are a small group of Tall Ships:

The Entries are here

Sailonline is once again providing the virtual Tall Ships Race and we need to select our ship ... our Barque 90 is, apparently, too big/fast (probably) so we need to choose either:

Clipper

OR

Full Rigger


Please will those of you with expertise in these matters cast your eye over the entry list and indicate which of our two choices would seem to sail most appropriately!

ORCV Melbourne to Hobart 2024


Welcome to the legendary "Westcoaster," a race that has tested sailors for over 50 years. Spanning 435 nautical miles, this iconic journey takes racers from Melbourne, across the formidable Bass Strait, and around Tasmania's rugged west coast to the finish line in Hobart. Organized by the Ocean Racing Club of Victoria, the Westcoaster is renowned for its challenging conditions and adventurous spirit. This year, our SOLers will tackle the course in the swift and capable First 47.7, a yacht launched by Beneteau in 2000, built for speed and endurance in long ocean races. Get ready for an exhilarating ride in one of Australia’s most celebrated yacht races!

Refeno Rally 2024


Although since 1986 this 300nm course from Recife, Brazil, to Fernando Noronha Island has been run many times IRL, we have only used this route twice in SOL. This time it will be the route of the last race in the ARCH 2024 classification.
Although the winner of the general classification can already be determined, the fight for the next places on the podium should be fierce. There are several contenders and Dofour34 have them at their disposal. Since we are starting in Vida_Maldita's home waters, he will give us a 30-minute handicap. Or maybe we should give it to him? 😊

The Beagle in the Azores 2024


And west the Beagle went one final time to round the Cape of Good Hope on May 31 1836. Ashore, Darwin met up with the Astronomer Royal, Herschel, who just happened to be in South Africa at the same time mapping the southern skies. After sounding out his many ideas on evolution and extinction with Herschel, the Beagle now sailed north, stopping briefly in St Helena, Ascension and Brazil, and the Cape Verdes again, to reach the Azores on September 19, 1836. Fitzroy and Darwin at this stage were in a hurry to get back to Britain, but online in 2024 we will stay a little longer to explore this final remote archipelago in our virtual Tall Ship Class B Beagle, 630nm round and about the islands, minding as always in these waters not to bump into any large cetaceans!

Christmas(W) to Christmas(E) Island 2024

Two waypoints, start and finish, and between them 5827 NM of two oceans. Not much time if we want to sit at the Christmas Eve table. You will need to maintain an average speed of over 10 knots, so prepare your 90ft well and choose the best of the many possible routes. Hands up everyone who knew there were TWO Christmas Islands?! OK, maybe you have sailed this Sailonline course before... but it's time to get ready for the 2024 challenge of a reversed race, starting in the Indian Ocean, racing to the Christmas Island in the Pacific! It also marks the conclusion of our prestigious Ocean Race Championship 2024. Please have fun! Fair winds!
