A series of interviews, starting on 11 March, Liaison Officers will assist in this process. This year's application process positively surprised the organisers... There were many applications from outside of Szczecin. Numerous citizens of the voivodship applied, but there are also many volunteers from Warsaw, Bytom and Otwock... Even Ukrainian citizens and a student from England want to become liaison officers. One Exactly 5 months before candidate that lives in Szczecin comes from Asia and speaks Chinese fluently. The liaison's officers' responsibility will be to provide efficient communication the event the Szczecin between crews and the organiser. Think of these volunteers as special task Sailing Centre has closed superheroes! its application process for liaison officers for ship crews during the TSR grand finale. An event of such scale as the grand finale of The Tall Ships Races requires months of preparations – hundreds of meetings, thousands of phone calls and emails, Infrastructure numerous decisions and arrangements as well as a lot of money. All of this serves one purpose – to provide citizens and tourists with a safe and appealing way to enjoy the most beautiful tall ships in the world. Preparations, however, are not only about scheduling artistic events, planning the mooring of ships and arranging security. They also include infrastructural investments, which even though initiated for the event, will stay with the citizens of Szczecin after the tall ships are gone. The Roads and Transport Administration of Szczecin has already completely renovated approximately 1000 metres of pavements in the vicinity of the Wały Chrobrego embankment. The roads' surfaces have also changed considerably. These will become promenades during the event. A change for the better can already be seen when walking along the Zygmunta Starego, Jarowita or Henryka Pobożnego streets. They are cleaner, prettier and safer. The other bank of the Oder is undergoing a transformation as well. The Old Town quay on Łasztownia island is being renovated right now. A 650 metre section (from the Trasa Zamkowa route to the Gryf fishing port) will transform into a wide avenue with lanterns, benches, rubbish bins, bike stands and other street furniture. The three harbour cranes, called the “liftosaurs” by the locals, will be one of the most impressive elements of a new, modernised Old Town quay. Hidden under special covers for the last couple of months, they have finally been revealed for everyone to feast their eyes upon. In accordance with Szczecin authorities the cranes will be professionally lighted during the event. The illumination installation will be permanent and will stay with us vis-à-vis the Wały Chrobrego embankment even after The Tall Ships Races end. The grand finale of The Tall Ships Races in Szczecin will be commemorated by the Polish Post Office with a special, commemorative stamp! Polish Post Office Promotion authorities have just given us the good news about the “planned publication of The Tall Ships Races Szczecin 2017 stamp”. This way postcards sent in August from Szczecin will be accompanied by a specially designed stamp. In accordance with our plan The Tall Ships Races 2017 are promoted using various methods. We are active on the Inter- net and on social media. We are prin- ting and distributing leaflets, billbo- ards, sails, flags, etc. We are also ma- nufacturing memorabilia. We also visit trade shows. During the Tour Salon in Poznań (February 2017) the Western Pomerania booth, of which the TRS was an integral part, has been awarded the Acanthus Aureus award for “booth most advantageous to the completion of a marketing strategy”. The organisers are now planning to participate in the presti- gious ITB Berlin as well as Wind and Water Warsaw trade shows. Our 360° film watched with special gogg- les will give our guests a chance to visit Szczecin.

  • Jolie Brise a Teignmouth Story
    THE JOLIE BRISE A TEIGNMOUTH STORY By Clare McComb J12433_JolieBrise_Story_DL_V10.indd 1 15/10/2015 09:22 Putting this little book together has been a pleasure because of the exciting way in which the project has unfolded and the warmth and generosity of those, in Teignmouth and beyond, who have helped to make it happen. My thanks go, first, to J D Wetherspoon for its policy of researching local history and, in particular, to Tim Martin for his sponsorship. I am indebted to Lin Watson and the Teign Heritage Museum team for their wonderful, comprehensive advice and technical assistance, as well as to Viv Wilson MBE for allowing me to use her splendidly researched material. My gratitude also goes to Sidney Briggs’ relations who could not have done more to help, searching their attics and storage boxes to reveal documents and artefacts which had been unknown beforehand outside of the family circle. Toby Marris, skipper of Jolie Brise, and Sue Stone, from Dauntsey’s School, have (as always) been constantly generous with their time, support and permission to use their beautiful images of the boat. I am grateful to Jacques Taglang, Dauntsey’s School and Rick Tomlinson, Syd Hook’s daughters Jill and Sandra, the Mystic Seaport Museum USA (Rosenfeld Collection) and the Warneford, Martin and Morgan Giles families for allowing use of their photographs in the book. My thanks go, lastly, to Jolie Brise herself. Since her launch in 1913, she has always been thought of as special and is now one of the great iconic classic boats. Her exploits helped to jump-start the sport of British Ocean Racing, and her achievement in winning the Fastnet Race three times has not yet been equalled.

    Login Register Search >> Home News Events Vessels Sail On Board Host Ports About Us The Tall Ships Races 2016 Organised by Sail Training International The Tall Ships Races 2016 is looking forward to celebrating a diamond anniversary event. It will be exactly sixty years since the very first Tall Ships Race visited Lisbon, Portugal in 1956 - and the international fleet is returning for the eighth time. The first Tall Ships' Race in 1956 was a race of 20 of the world's remaining large sailing ships. The race was from Torbay, UK to Lisbon and was meant to be a last farewell to the era of the great sailing ships. However, public interest was so intense the Sail Training International Race Committee formed a founding organisation and has since organised Tall Ships' Races and Regattas annually around the world, attracting hundreds of ships and millions of spectators. Antwerp, Belgium will be hosting the event for the fourth time since its first event in 2001. Located in the heart of Europe it’s a pocket-sized metropolis and Europe’s second largest ports. Lisbon, Portugal will be welcoming the fleet after the first race leg for the seventh time since the races began. Entry form Cadiz, Spain is the oldest continuously-inhabited city in southern Spain and one of the oldest in southwestern Europe.

  • Our Tugs Are Essential for the Tall Ships Races
    Our tugs are essential for The Tall Ships Races [one-half-first] [/one-half-first][one- half] [/one-half] The Tall Ships Races 2017 reached Kotka, Finland, on July 13th. The magnificent sailing ships keep our tugs busy when they arrive and depart. - The bigger ships need of course our assistance. It is fun to tow sailing ships for a change, says Marko Lindström, the captain on our tug Akilles. Akilles assisted the huge Russian Mir to the berth together with our tug Harald. Mir is the second largest of six sister ships. She is 109.2 meters long, weighs 385 tons, has a beam of 13.9 meters and a draught of 6.3 meters. The main mast is 52 meters high and along with the other masts supports a total sail area of 2,771 square meters. According to captain Lindström, towing sailing ships is not like towing modern vessels. - We have to be a bit more careful.
