Cruise in Company and Pilot Cutter Review

Monday May 21st – Sunday May 27th 2012

Cruise along the South Coast in the company of other Pilot Cutters and then enjoy the informal racing

This event acknowledges the popularity, beauty and sailing qualities of these fine vessels by bringing together as many Pilot cutters as possible as a celebration of traditional sail. The Pilot cutters assemble for a ‘social’ evening on Thursday 24 May in Fowey. The following morning the crews race the cutters the 24 miles to St Mawes, followed by 2 further days of racing from St Mawes. No previous experience is needed as full instruction is given during the sailing prior to the first event and the pace of the sailing is always very calm and friendly.

St Austell Brewery Tribute Passage Race Fowey to St Mawes.

The racing is gentle and good humoured – however we always aim to win! On Friday morning, we begin the racing with a 24 mile passage race from Fowey to St Mawes. The Race is sponsored by St Austell Brewery as the ‘Tribute Passage Race’. There will be a Crew Reception in St Mawes Sailing Club on the Friday evening.

You will join Polly Agatha in Gunwharf Quays, Portsmouth at 0900 on Monday 21st. After meeting the other guests and crew and safety briefings, we will set sail to Fowey. On our voyage to Fowey along the beautiful Dorset and Cornish coast you will be involved fully in running the ship and there may be some night sailing when you will work watches. We are due to arrive on Thursday evening and will aim to stop along the way in ports such as Dartmouth, and Salcombe. In Fowey the Pilot Cutters will all raft up together for the Thursday evening Barbecue with free beer “Tribute” thanks to the kind sponsorship of St Austell Brewery.

On Sunday Morning we will sail across to Mylor and then Falmouth where you can depart or ….. Stay and join us for the Fastnet experience!!
