Falmouth to host 6 metres

Classic and moderns to head for Cornwall in May

Over 20-23 May this year, Falmouth and the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club is to play host to the International 6 metre yachts including both modern and classic divisions.

 A 10 race series is planned with up to four races per day on windward-leeward courses culminating with Prize Giving on the Sunday. 15 to 20 boats are expected to enter coming from France, the Solent, and the West Country.

The magnificent sailing waters in Falmouth Bay and the deep waters of Carrick Roads and Falmouth harbour combined with the expert RYA trained RCYC race teams make Falmouth the perfect venue for major sailing championships.

The boats will be rafted up at Pendennis Marina after racing making an interesting and unusual picture for visitors to the town.
