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.

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.

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!

Rommel by Balloon 2026 - Through the Sahara


Generalfeldmarschall Johannes Erwin Eugen Rommel may have been that chivalrous, gallant tank commander of legend, led astray by the Prussian military traditions of loyalty and chain of command, but one thing he wasn’t, was mad. So, let’s do it anyway – not stick to the coast and the battle for logistical superiority – but depart the oases of Siwa south west into the desert for Agadez and its uranium. And let’s go by balloon, it’s only 2500km (1250nm)!
