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!

Rapallo to Nador 2026


Welcome to Liguria’s Rapallo, there where Zarathustra spoke - at length - to Nietzsche, for our first race of nine to celebrate all things Mediterranean - fickle winds, history and olive oil. A number of our races in this new Magical Mediterranean series will be partnership with famous real-life races, but this first race is pure fiction - 780nm in refurbed IMOCA 60s, past or through the Balearic Isles and on into the Alboran Sea, to a finish off Nador on the Maroc Mediterranean coast.

Red Eye - Melville Island PYOC 2026

Melville Island is the largest of the Tivi group opposite the port of Darwin in the Timor Sea. Tropically forested and thinly populated, not a lot goes on there, but let’s race around it anyway, lar- or starboard round, it’s a little more than 120nm, so, no matter where you are navigating from on the planet, you will be hard-pressed to complete the course aboard your J-80 in daylight hours!
