Fowey to St Mawes Race


Nick and Melisa Beck, of Topsail Adventures and their new Cutter 'Amelie Rose', invited me to join them in Fowey for the Pilot Cutter Review last Thursday. All the Cutters moored at Prime Cellars where a great party was put on by William and Arnie of 'Hesper'. Other Cutters present, with their crews, were 'Eve of St Mawes', 'Agnes', 'Annabel J', 'Polly Agatha'.

On Friday morning we set off in low visibility and fine rain, not as spectacular a sight for the locals as it might have been! The race was in two parts: 1 - Sailing in rain trying to get past Dodman Point and Nare Head, 2 - Glorious sunshine from Gull Rock around St Anthony and into 'mediterranean' St Mawes.
