The Henri Lloyd Falmouth Week got off to a cracking start on Saturday when, in fine weather conditions and with light winds, hundreds of boats took to the water in the Carrick Roads for the annual Classics.

The event is the prelude to the week's racing and there was no shortage of entries as boats of all sizes and ages tackled the various courses.

There was a spectacular sight for spectators who had lined Pendennis Headland and the area around St Mawes Castle with all boats under full sail.

The Falmouth working boats, with all their sails up, provided just one of the attractions of the day as did a number of vintage craft.

A full week of sailing events is now under way, organised by the Port of Falmouth Sailing Association, together with a number of shoreside festivities, including daily entertainment in the Events Square.
