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 and the midweek carnival processions. 

This year the Regatta is being extended to include racing on the Friday 22nd August for the Falmouth Workboats, Sunbeam, Ajax, Troy and Dinghy classes. The Children’s Race will be on the morning of Saturday 23rd August followed by the traditional Gig racing in the afternoon.

Also this year we are very pleased to welcome a new sponsor, St. Austell Brewery, who will be sponsoring the Friday racing which is to be called “Tribute Day” as well as sponsoring the “Safety RIBs” during the week. The cruisers will be racing for the St. Austell Brewery Tribute Trophy and the Lloyds Bank Cup will also be presented to the best local boat. On Friday evening there will be the Sponsors Reception and Prize Giving at the Fowey Gallants Sailing Club. Other events include the Red Arrows display, Falmouth Working Boats race and ending with a spectacular fireworks display over the harbour.
