The Tall Ships´ Races
Tre Kronor af Stockholm is in The lead of The Tall Ships´ Races in The Baltic Sea. Both her class and over all. It's only the second leg on the first day, but I have to take the opportunity to brag as I think of her a little as my ship. After all, I've sailed her.
Well worth the bragging rights Jonas.Please keep us informed.

The Business of the commander-in-chief is first to bring an enemy fleet to battle on the most advantageous terms to himself, (I mean that of laying his ships close on board the enemy, as expeditiously as possible); and secondly to continue them there until the business is decided.
This may also be of interest to other shipmates.

Thank you Rob.
By the way... Tre Kronor won the Crew Parade prize in Åbo yesterday.
I will keep myself updated on the Tre Kronor at least. I follow "my" vessel in the race.
Last summer...
It is good that you have such a personal interest in the race, Jonas.
Despite the British presence I will be rooting for your ship Jonas.

I did not know there were so many tall ships still sailing
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_tall_ships
Over 200 according to that list
Even I did not know that there were that many out there Dave.
Thanks for the heads up.
Next year they come to Hartlepool, although I'm not sure of the date yet.

It will be 11th - 14th July 2018. http://www.sailtraininginternational...ll-ships-races
Cheers Dave.
I had looked on the site but did not find that bit. Small print is not my forte I'm afraid.

Thank you, Rob.Originally Posted by Bligh
We won race 2, both in class and over all, just ahead of Royalist. So UK got second place.
The last race will start Saturday.
Good Luck
Thanks for the update Jonas.
Hope you go on to win it.

I've been away at a Swedish winery but am now back with a delayed report from Tre Kronor.
My translation. I hope it makes sense.
"After a difficult first night and yesterday (2:nd of Aug) with beating in unstable winds, we suffered weak winds and the old head seas (Tre Kronor's bane...) off the coast of Poland last night. However, we were further south than our competitors and with the expected southern winds we were in a better position to gain positions. When the wind increased, we got nice sailing in the morning, and gained on our competitors.
During the morning's radio broadcast we were told that the race would be stopped at 1000UTC. It was short of time until the end and every effort was made to maximize the last hours. We still had some benefit from our positioning and it was now about capitalizing on strategic investment.
At the end of the race, the positions at the top were very even, apart from the Royalist, which probably has a pretty good head start. In Class A we were together with the Statsraad Lehmkuhl, Sørlandet, Fryderyk Chopin and Mir all very close, as known aboard anyway (we had limited internet access, so don't know very much about those not close to us).
For any guess about results, we will wait for official notice. But yellowbrick is no longer reliable.
Greetings from Captain Leo on board."
Thanks again jonas.
I await the outcome with baited breath.
