Arrival in Fowey
By sea – Classics moorings
Fowey Harbour Commissioners (FHC) designate a special mooring area for Fowey Classics boats. This is normally located on pontoons and fore-and-aft mooring buoys close to Prime Cellars on the wooded east bank of the harbour, north (upstream) of Penleath Point. These are reserved for entrants.

If you require a Classics mooring this should be ordered and paid for when submitting your entry form. The entry fee does not include mooring.

Entrants arriving from seaward will usually be directed to these moorings by an FHC Patrol boat (Fowey Harbour Radio VHF Ch. 12) and in addition, on Monday August 1 between approx. 1200 and 1730, by our Welcome launch “Guide”. which will be on station near the harbour entrance.

Mooring stickers will be issued to paid-up entrants’ boats on arrival and these must be affixed immediately and be clearly visible. This year we are also issuing a special FC pennant and all entrants are asked to fly this to assist the Harbour Patrol to correctly identify entrants.

Any boat on the reserved Classics moorings not displaying a special Classics mooring sticker and pennant may be required by the Harbour Patrol to move to a regular Visitors mooring and to pay the appropriate full per night rate.

Special concessionary rates for Classics moorings are determined by FHC and cover five nights from August 1st.

The mooring rates for this year are shown on the entry form.

Please note that the FHC definition* of LOA includes bowsprit and or bumkin.

If you are able to dress your boat overall please do so as this adds greatly to the festive atmosphere of the event and there is a prize for the best dressed boat and/or crew..

A commercial water taxi is available in the harbour. Call VHF Ch. 6 or the Duty Driver on mobile 07774 906730.

*Fowey Classics measurement definitions distinguish between LOA (stemhead to aftermost part of hull) and Length Over Spars (LOS) which includes bowsprit and or bumkin.
