SAIL TRAINING RASES
by Clem R e i s s
The Sail Training Association has sponsored more than fifty races
since its formation in 1955 in England. At least a third of these races
have included the "Tall Ships" - the big square riggers used for cadet
training in many countries.
Seven stamps have-been specifically issued to recognize these races.
Finland (Scott No. 517) commemorated the 1972 face from Helsinki to
Falsterbo and this issue depicts the SOUMEN JOUTSEN. The tall ship
c l a s s in that race was won by Norway's CHRISTIAN RADICH (Bermuda
337).
Bermuda issued a set of six stamps honoring the 1976 Tall Ships Races.
The set included KRUZENSHTERN (40*), the largest training ship in the
races; SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL (20*), second place Class "B'H cor-
rected time and the first to finish with an all girl crew; EAGLE (17<),
the United States Coast Guard training ship which won its c l a s s swimming
competition for the cadets; JUAN SEBASTIAN DE ELCANO (12tf), sus-
tained a broken foremast in a collision atthe start; CHRISTIAN RADICH
(5tf), noted in prior paragraph. The silver "Cutty Sark" trophy ($1) com-
pletes the set. This trophy is given to the crew that contributed most to
international understanding during the races. The EAGLE and SIR
WINSTON CHURCHILL haye appeared on the 1978 United States commem-
orative post card and the 1972 British Virgin Islands stamps ( 2 4 1 - 2 ) re-
spectively.
The 301 ft. three masted LIBERTAD was the other tall ship involved
in the collision previously stated. This Argentine Navy training ship was
able to continue the race. She appears on Argentina No. 858.

A number of other past participants in the sail training r a c e s have
appeared on stamps. FLYING C L I P P E R , a s t e e l three masted topsail
schooner, competed in the 1956 tall ship race from Torbay to Lisbon and
in the 1958 event from Brest to the C a n a r i e s . She gave a good account
of herself in both r a c e s and appears on the 1967 Greek Maritime Week
stamp (897).
The training ship appearing most often on stamps is DAR POMORZA.
She is commemorated on five Polish stamps dating back to 1945 (B37,
B78, 1213, 1780, 2041). This Polish training ship won the "1972 Oper-
ation S a i l " r a c e .
The MALCOLM MILLER, is pictured on Virgin Islands stamps ( 2 4 1 - 2 )
designed from a painting of her at the start of the 1970 Tall Ships Race
by John Worsley. RSMA. The MELCOLM MILLER won her c l a s s in 1968
and 1971. She placed second in the 1972—73-74 r a c e s . Her s i s t e r ship,
the SIR WINSTON CHURCHILL, placed first in the 1972 c l a s s B 1 r a c e .
The FALKEN, Swedens training ship was al§o.yery successful and
appears on Swedens 1972 i s s u e (932). Her 1 2 9 ' 6 " length and 2 3 ' 6 "
width are smaller dimensions than many of the training s h i p s , but she
finished first in her c l a s s in two of the 1975 races and had seconds in
1 9 6 6 - 6 8 - 7 0 - 7 2 . She was unable to place in the 1956 r a c e .
The Portuguese training ship SAGRES, which.appears on the 1963
Mozambique issue (567) was the winner of the 1958 race.
AMERICO VESPUCCI, a 270 foot three masted full rigged ship, is
shown on the I931 Italy (266) and 1967 Gibralter (193) stamps. She is
used by the Italian Navy for training but has never placed in any sail
training r a c e s to d a t e . The Italian stamp shows the ship incorrectly with
only one row of gunports instead of two.
Stamps are not the only philatelic way in which the sail training r a c e s
and their participants have been recognized. A 1976 Russian commem-
orative postcard of the KRUZENSHTERN (previously noted) is a striking
multicolored example. This 342' long bark placed second in her c l a s s in
two 1976 r a c e s . Pictorial c a n c e l s are a l s o excellent additions to this
topic, such a s Malmo, Sweden - Sail Training Race 1972 and Gdynia,
Poland - Operation Sail 1974.
