A prestigious national sailing race is to return to Falmouth next year.
The Edinburgh Cup is the British Open National Championship for Dragon class boats which are nine-metre keelboats, raced by crews of three people.
It is the first time since 2009 that the race will be held in Falmouth, Cornwall.
It’s a highly competitive class with many mixed crews and a real honour for Falmouth to welcome back the Edinburgh Cup.
“It takes a big team effort ahead of time and during the event. It’s already bringing together local sailing experts from across the area including Flushing Sailing Club and Mylor Sailing Club.”
Boats will arrive in the town on July 2, and racing will take place each day until July 9.
An opening ceremony will take place at the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club to welcome the sailors and launch the event.
