I am sailing on a 55m Dutch ship called Eendracht. It is a class A ship (the largest of the tall ships).
The first portion of my time sailing is a Cruise in Company where there will be lots of Tall Ships sailing around the fjords of Norway and in and out of the various ports. Eventually my ship will end up in Bergen for the Tall Ships Festival there. We will then participate in a race against the other Tall Ships. The race is from Bergen to Dan Helder in Holland (1.5 hours north of Amsterdam by train). I finish sailing on August 22nd and will spend 2 nights in Amsterdam before flying home on August 24th. The Tall Ships website provides daily updates and a ship tracker feature to see where all the boats are. Currently, a race from Liverpool to Måløy is in progress. http://www.sailtraininginternational.org/ then click on the News tab for updates.
The ship tracker is at http://www.tallshipsraces.com/mapping/
I have also found these websites with ship tracking http://www.eendracht.nl/en/news/shiptracker.jx http://www.sailwx.info/shiptrack/shipposition.phtml?call=PDVN
