Racing Programme

FALMOUTH CLASSICS

Saturday 9th August – A Celebration of Sail
Inspired by the original French festivals, Falmouth Classics has been providing fun and spectacle for nearly 20 years, and now kicks off Falmouth Week in style. There is no shortage of entries, as Falmouth is renowned as home to a larger proportion of traditional boats than most ports, many of them built locally. Come and join these magnificent yachts, large and small, very old and not so old. More information >>

HL FALMOUTH WEEK REGATTA

Sunday 10th – Friday 15th August
The main regatta is a series of races over 6 days, with courses laid in Falmouth Bay and the Carrick Roads by qualified Race Officers to suit all classes of boat. Expert or beginner – you will be well catered for. HL Falmouth Week Regatta is an ideal venue for smaller Class Associations to hold their championships.

The Falmouth Bay Fleet has classes for multihulls, IRC yachts, Sportsboats, Marieholms, PY yachts and the PY Cruising/white sail class. The PY Cruising class races without spinnakers and is there for the less ultra-competitive and family crews. We are holding a teach-in on Saturday 9th August to outline the basic rules of racing for those new to the sport.

The Carrick Fleet starts in the Carrick Roads but weather permitting will also venture out into the bay. The fleet includes Flying Fifteens, Dragons, International One Designs, Ajaxes, Cornish Shrimpers, Sunbeams, Falmouth Working Boats, Gaffers, and St Mawes One Designs. More information >>

PENDENNIS CUP

New… for 2008 we are hosting a special fleet of large Classic Racing Superyachts, built in the early 1900s and competing for the Pendennis Cup, which will provide a spectacular sight alongside the modern racers and traditional craft. More information >>

HL FALMOUTH DINGHY WEEK

Sunday 10th – Friday 15th August
The dinghy racing is based in Mylor at Restronguet Sailing Club (where Ben Ainslie learnt to race). There is ample boat storage and car parking on site for all our visitors. With usually two races each morning this format is ideal for those on family holiday. We can cater for Class Championships as part of the event. More information >>
