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.

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!

Cross the Convergence 2026 - Sao Tomé to Tristan

The fifth race of our series of ocean voyages across the World’s convergence zones takes us back south down the Atlantic from Sao Tomé on the Equator to Tristan da Cunha on the edge of the Roaring Forties. It’s 2500nm; in your path the Benguela winds and current along the south west African coast, and behind that the St Helena High stretching halfway to South America. So, mind where you go in your Volvo OD65 version 3 (based on sampled real-life race data by kroppyer)!

New Ice Age 2026 - Neumayer Station to Scott Base


For a second-half of long-distance ice-boating, we take our DNs to Antarctica for a circumnavigation of that continent in two legs clockwise, in harmony with the prevailing winds (such as there are), beginning with a race from Germany’s Neumayer Station to New Zealand’s Scott Base. It’s about 3500nm, which, 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?!
