ORGANISERS of the Falmouth Classics Regatta have confirmed the races will take place on June 12, 13 and 14.

The event, which coincides with the Internation Sea Shanty Festival held in the town, will include a parade of sail and a larger number of entrants is also expected.

Henry Roberts, chairman of the Falmouth Classics Association, said: "We expect the weekend to bring three enjoyable days of classic boat racing and rallying around the Fal Estuary.

"Falmouth provides many vantage points for spectators, offering spectacular views of the regatta and parade of sail, which takes place in the Carrick Roads and Falmouth Bay."

Free berthing will be available to vessels to 50ft LOD along with free moorings for large boats, although spaces are limited.
