Falmouth Classics

Falmouth Classics is a three-day rally of classic sailing craft and other traditional vessels, including pilot gigs and motorboats. The Classics is held at the same time as Falmouth International Sea Shanty Festival with the town offering entertainment on the water and over 26 venues throughout the town.

Since it began, in 1987, Falmouth Classics has steadily grown to be one of the largest Classic sailing events in the UK. With both events hugely popular it's believed 65,000 visitors flock to Falmouth.

Events include:

• Two days of enjoyable racing. Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay will be full of sails, of all types, shapes and colours. Vessels range in size from 9ft to 150ft or more and include the famous Falmouth Working Boats.
• The spectacular Parade of Classic Boats showcases a wide range of traditional vessels, sail and power. The Small Boat Parade is for boats under 20ft propelled by sail, oars or engine and built in the spirit of tradition.
• The lively social programme includes the Haven and Welcome Receptions, the Classics Supper, the Classics Maritime Village, rowing and sculling races, and a public viewing of boats.
