The Point & Penpoll Village Regatta has returned for its 129th iteration.
It got underway on Saturday, June 22 and came to a conclusion on Sunday, June 23.
The event drew close to 60 boats which participated in various categories, from larger boats including Falmouth working boats, Mirrors, Picos, Lasers, Shrimpers, to a mixed yacht race.
Luckily, weather was favourable for sailing, providing a consistent breeze that steadily grew as the tide rose, enhancing conditions on the water.
Paul Hobson, this year's chair, presided over the regatta
The notable aspect of this regatta was its unique location.
The proximity of the spectators to the actions was so close that it almost seemed possible to physically reach out to the boat crews.
On standby for any emergencies were the RNLI inshore lifeboat and their three-person crew.
Local clubs like Restronguet Sailing Club provided additional support in the form of ribs, crews, and racing officials.
The Point Quay Association managed a bar serving both soft drinks and beers.
Food preparation was a local endeavour, coordinated on the day by the village WI.
A variety of cakes were readily available, seemingly a result of a local 'great British bake off'.
The event kick-started with children's sports on the village green, followed by a crab catching contest.
It was the heaviest crab that was declared the winner, being released in time to grow for the next year's event.
The fleets readied for the main event, with the first warning at 4:40 pm, coinciding with the high point of the tide.
An impressive spectacle was created as boats and sailors filled the waters in front of the spectators.
Three notable mentions included the working boat Victory, which had suffered from being underwater overnight at the Falmouth Classics, an elegant Isles of Scilly Post Boat, and a regal V class Sunbeam.
Charles Warren offered informative commentary throughout the races, explaining the construction and designers of the classes, and providing updates on their race standings.
The smooth sail of the event was owed to a dedicated team, including Jan Pentreath, responsible for recording the results.
An all-faith service, with the lesson read in Cornish by Jan Pentreath, served as the conclusion of the weekend's event inside the tent on the quay.
Full results are available on the Point & Penpoll website and Facebook page.
Plans are already underway for the 130th anniversary of the Point & Penpoll Regatta next year.
