| The Pilot Cutter Review 15 - 21Jun 2010 Join and leave in St Mawes. 3 Days cruising, 3 days racing. Annabel J once again returns to St Mawes to take part in this spectacular event. In 2009 Annabel J won the event quite convincingly. This event acknowledges the popularity, beauty and sailing qualities of these fine vessels by bringing together as many Pilot cutters as possible as a celebration of traditional sail. The Pilot cutters assemble for a 'social' evening on Thursday 17 Jun in Fowey. The following morning the crews race the cutters the 24 miles to St Mawes, followed by 2 further days of racing from St Mawes. No previous experience is needed as full instruction is given during the 2 days sailing prior to the first event and the pace of the sailing is always very calm and friendly. |

You will join Annabel J in the beautiful Cornish harbour town of St Mawes on Tuesday afternoon. After meeting the other guests and crew and safety briefings, we will set sail to wherever the wind blows us. Tuesday evening will be spent at a beautiful cornish anchorage enjoying a candle-lit supper and getting to know each other. This will be followed by 2 days cruising the Cornish coast, stopping in secluded bays and picturesque harbours. We aim to arrive in Fowey on Thursday evening where we will meet the other Pilot Cutters. In Fowey the Pilot Cutters will all raft up together for the Thursday evening Barbecue with free beer "Tribute" thanks to the kind sponsorship of St Austell Brewery. |
