Falmouth Classics 2019. Picture: Doug Jackson One of the largest heritage and classic sailing events in the UK, the Falmouth Classics is set to take place next weekend. Between Friday June 11 and Sunday June 13 over 120 vessels the oldest dating from 1881, will be racing and parading in the Carrick Roads. Falmouth harbour will gradually fill with boats on Thursday, June 10 from 11:00 as the 70 or more visiting craft arrive to moor alongside in Falmouth Haven, on swinging moorings or anchor. By late afternoon the scene will be reminiscent of Falmouth’s maritime past. Falmouth Classics 2019. Picture: Doug Jackson
