With over 100 boats inluding spectacular classic yachts and a fleet of Pilot Cutters the regatta should be a amazing spectacle. To honour the memory of the Pilots of old, there will be a Pilot Cutter race, dropping a Pilot to a waiting ship - Just like the old days; the first Pilot to board the ship gets the prize! It is expected that more than 12 Pilot Cutters will be there including many originals. Don't forget to bring your camera! 		# boats
