2014-07-07 06:38:25 - Tall Ships Season 2014


For the fourth year, Sailonline is delighted to be the virtual partner of Sail Training International for its summer season of tall ships racing.

This year will see three events in the North Sea (a race from Harlingen in the Netherlands to Fredrikstad in Norway, a Cruise-in-Company from Fredrikstad to Bergen in Norway, a race from Bergen to Esbjerg in Denmark) and one off the coast of the British Isles (Falmouth to Royal Greenwich Tall Ships' Regatta ending in the heart of London).

The Tall Ships Races 2014, organised by Sail Training International are being run during the months of July, August and September and Sailonline's virtual races will mirror the schedules of the real events as closely as possible.

This virtual sailing experience runs hand in hand with 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. Sail Training International and Sailonline both count heavily on volunteer support with financial gain excluded from the equation.

Sailing a tall ship, whether real or virtual - making navigational decisions in real wind conditions - can be a surprising experience, especially if you are more familiar with modern yachts, and makes one realise how truly remarkable were the sailors of bygone days who managed so successfully to sail the globe. This is truly a fun as well as an educational and insightful experience for all those who, for whatever reason, wish to sail tall ships.

There are four classes of Tall Ship in the real races, ranging from the biggest Class A Square Rigged ships of more than 40m in length, down to training yachts of 9.14m. Sailonline has developed performance polars based on published data for several tall ships, and will be sailing a Class A ship in each event.

Start learning the basics today on Sailonline so you will be ready for your Tall Ships experience!

Tobruk to Iskenderun 2026

Welcome to the fourth of our nine races across the length and breadth of the Magical Mediterranean Sea, and the second that is not in partnership with a real-life event, this time for good reason, which we won’t get into here. From Tobruk to Iskenderun it’s 670nm in length, with the added complication that the island of Cyprus will be in your way. Hoping, possibly forlornly, for plenty of downwind sailing, we’ll take the Lagoon 55 for the voyage!

Tasmania to Kamchatka 2026

Welcome to yet another all-new route. Tasmania to Kamchatka, part of our Ocean Championship and also the third leg of the ROW (Round the Old World) series. Be aware of the obstacles on the way, likely to split the fleet. It's like X:mas to X:mas, crossing the same waters, navigating the same archipelagos. This second race of OCQ2 2026 will be sailed in our revised 'version 2' Imoca 60 Foil. Race #2031
