Saturday 6th August - A Celebration of Sail
2011 sees the celebration of the twentythird year of Falmouth Classics regattas. This annual event gets the week off to a good start with festivities for all the family.
It has a reputation for being a relaxed regatta, the racing not being considered as important as the fun and camaraderie associated with traditional boats and the people who sail them.
Over the years feeder races from Plymouth and Fowey have contributed to swelling the more local fleets and generally enhancing the many different vessels that make it to Falmouth.
In past years the numbers have exceeded 150 boats ranging from 12ft jolly boats to 80ft schooners, giving the hapless race officer a few headaches. However the nature of the regatta is one that endorses seamanship above racing honours, resulting in very few incidents or mishaps on the water.

The teas and prize giving reception are at RCYC after racing.
