Description: The
program highlight of the 2007 event in Fowey will be the launching of a
replica of the late 19th century Gorran Haven Crabber - a local spritsail yawl
rigged inshore fishing boat. This maritime heritage project has been
funded through the generosity of the Fowey Classic entrants. Our 2007
programme gains an extra day thanks to the later timing of the Falmouth
Classics. Scottish whisky distiller Old Pultney has bravely
presented a trophy and some nice whisky for a new and original sailing event on
Friday 3rd August
