Québec 84

The Gorch Fock is a tall ship of the German Navy (Deutsche Marine). She is the second ship of that name and a sister ship of the Gorch Fock built in 1933. Both ships are named in honor of the German writer Johann Kinau who wrote under the pseudonym "Gorch Fock" and died in the battle of Jutland/Skagerrak in 1916. The modern-day Gorch Fock was built in 1958 and has since then undertaken 146 cruises (as of October 2006), including one tour around the world in 1988. She is sometimes referred to (unofficially) as the Gorch Fock II to distinguish her from her older sister ship.

1765 HMS Victory masts, Portsmouth, England

The HMS Victory is the most famous sailing warship of all time. Lord Nelson commanded her at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805 to defeat the combined French and Spanish fleet. We toured her in August of 2006 in Portsmouth, England, where she is in drydock #2. Some of these pictures will look a little ragged, because the Victory is SO large even standing back as far as I could she would not fit in my viewfinder.

Launched May 7, 1765

LOA 227 feet

Length on gun deck: 186 feet

Length of keel: 151 feet 3 inches

Bridge clearance: 220 feet

Beam 51 feet 10 inches

Depth 21 feet 6 inches

Sail area 4 acres

Cordage 27 miles

Timber used 2,000 oak trees

She is the last of four sisterships built by the Naval Shipyards of Bilbao, Spain, in 1982, similar to the 1930 German designs of Blohm & Voss, like the Gorch Fock, the USCGC Eagle and the N.R.P. Sagres.

Like her sisterships, the Colombian Gloria, the Ecuadorian Guayas and the Simón Bolívar of Venezuela, the Cuauhtémoc is a sailing ambassador for her home country and a frequent visitor to world ports, having sailed over 400,000 nautical miles (700,000 km) in her 23 years of service with appearances at the Cutty Sark Tall Ships' Races, ASTA Tall Ships Challenges, Sail Osaka, and others.

STS Mir

Mir and Sedov in race start at Falmouth

STS Mir (Russian: Мир, meaning World or Peace) is a three-masted, full rigged Sail Training Ship, based in St. Petersburg, Russia. She was built in 1987 at the Lenin Shipyard in Gdańsk, Poland.

Mir is the second largest of six sister ships designed by Zygmunt Choreń and weighs 2,385 tonnes. She is 109.2 metres long, with a beam of 13.9 m and a draught of 6.3 m. The main mast is 52 m high and along with the other masts supports a total sail area of 2,771 m².

Her sister ships are Dar Młodzieży, Druzhba, Pallada, Khersones and Nadezhda. Mir is 8 m shorter than the longest current sailing ship, the Sedov (117.5 m).

This ship was originally constructed as a cadet training ship, designed for carrying between 70 and 144 cadets. 

The total transport capacity is 199 people. In addition to the original training role, Mir now also offers sailing trips, daytrips and "cruises" between ports on a commercial basis; opening up the experience of sailing on Mir to those outside of Russia.

The family-owned Royal Huisman yard has been in business since 1884, and many a yachtsman has turned to its team for a fully custom sailing yacht. Jim Clark, founder of Netscape, did that very thing when he wanted to build Athena. At 295 feet, the yacht is the world's largest privately owned three-masted schooner and exudes classic charm.
