Hundreds of boats set sail at this year's Falmouth Classics.
The regatta, which ran from June 14 to June 16, welcomed 173 entries.
Vessels ranged from current and vintage lifeboats, a tribute to the 200th anniversary of the RNLI, to Bermudan and gaff-rigged boats dating back to 1884.
A significant number of boats hailed from ports up the English coast as far as West Mersea in Essex, whereas others came from France and Germany.
Despite forecasts indicating strong winds over 30 knots for the arrival day, many vessels docked the previous day.
The volunteer berthing crew were met with over half of the anticipated vessels already moored in Falmouth Haven and Port Pendennis by Thursday morning.
Boats continued to dock amidst persistent rain and wind.
The prospects of inclement weather almost made organisers consider an alternative plan, but they decided to proceed as normal.
The first race held on Friday featured more than 100 vessels.
In blustery conditions, boats were carefully reefed and a short course was set by the race officer to ensure readiness for a lengthier race in the afternoon.
Despite poor visibility, heavy rain and 40 knot plus winds, the boats prevailed.
While a 1934 Harrison Butler reported a broken mast and Victory, the 1884 Falmouth Working boat, filled with water, no one was injured, and action was swift.

Paul Hobson, chairman of the Falmouth Classics Association said: "The response from the classics safety team, HM Coastguard, the Harbour staff and RNLI in difficult conditions on the water was excellent.
"Situations like this, whilst rare, can happen very quickly and the team's response was to their credit."
On Friday evening, crews appreciated a reception at the Falmouth Art Gallery and Council Chamber and had the pleasure to view the splendid exhibition by local artist Jamie Medlin who was present through the event.
More favourable winds, up to a top of Force 5, greeted the Saturday race.
A rowing and sculling event took place at Royal Cornwall Yacht Club following the completion of racing.
Three officers from HMS Mersey, along with the regional marketing manager from Teamac, presented the day's prizes.
The parade of power and sail on Sunday morning greeted a moderate southwest wind up to Force 4.
The parade was led by two current Falmouth lifeboats and six vintage ones representing developments in design from 1938 to the 1980s.
The Bridgwater south west trading ketch Irene of 1907 led the fleet of sailing craft followed by powered craft and gigs.
A participant said: "Thank you for organising a lovely weekend in difficult circumstances.
"We will be back!"
Next year's event will take place from June 13 to June 15, coinciding with the Falmouth International Shanty Festival.
