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) ************************

Tall Ships 2026 - Stavanger to Aalborg


Welcome to the fourth of four virtual Tall Ships Races in European waters which are concurrently being organized in-real-life by Sail Training International . This fourth race is from Stavanger in Norway into the Skaggerak to a finish off Denmark’s Aalborg and perhaps an Aquavit to toast the adventure afterwards – a final circa 250nm in Sailonline’s classic Clipper 240.
NOTE: Starts and Finishes in tall ships racing are always offshore to avoid conflict with shipping and shipping lanes; online and real-life may not match exactly.

Chinook Salmon - Canada to Andreanovs


A year after spawning in the upper reaches of the rivers of British Columbia, Chinook Salmon develop the age-old urge, so familiar to SOLers, to go to sea, heading for different parts of the northern Pacific Ocean. This race catches up with a particular school with an instinctive memory for the Andreanov Islands far west on the Aleutian Islands chain, as they depart the Salian Sea between Vancouver Island and the San Juans. It’s 2200nm and we’re taking the 60ft Trimaran, in the hope we can keep up!
