Regatta Coastal
The Fowey Royal Regatta is regarded by many as one of the best local regattas in the country and is usually held over the third full week of August. It is very much a family regatta, being part of the Fowey Carnival week, with events occurring daily on the Town Quay, carnival processions, the Red Arrows, gig racing, two firework displays and other entertaining events and activities including the hotly contested children's crab catching competition.
Regatta 2010: 15-21 August
The sailing regatta will follow its usual form with yacht passage races to and from Falmouth on 15 and 16 August, then for the yachts round the buoys every morning on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.
Friday (Sponsors Day) completes the yacht racing with a longer race for the "Tribute" trophy and the Lloyds Bank Cup. For the dinghies and dayboat classes there will be two races a day on Tuesday to Friday and the traditional Falmouth Working Boats in-harbour race on Thursday evening just prior to the Red Arrows display. Children's races take place on Saturday morning prior to the gig racing in the afternoon.
The Notice of Race and Entry Form is available from the RFYC from 1st July or via the hyperlink below. Sailing Instructions will be issued on Friday 13th August or sent by post if requested and a stamped A4 sized, self-addressed envelope is received. Last year's entrants will receive a Notice of Race by post.

Dinghy competitors requiring a trailer space are requested to contact the Fowey Harbour Commissioners direct as there is restricted space at Caffa Mill (landing slip), Penmarlam (Mixtow) and the Old Station car park, near Caffa Mill.
