The Red Arrows over Falmouth Harbour
The Red Arrows perform over Falmouth Harbour during Regatta week 2010. This video filmed from the Flushing Sailing Club Quay.
The Red Arrows always draw a large crowd when they appear in Falmouth and their display is one of the most popular highlights of Regatta week. Flushing village quays and the bowling green are popular vantage points for locals and visitors alike to view the spectacular aerobatics of the team as they perform over the Penryn river and harbour.
The Falmouth Harbour Commissioners funded the appearance this year.
Falmouth Working Boat Race Flushing Sailing Club
The Falmouth working boats have survived as a racing class because of the nature of the oyster fishing which has continued in the Roseland and in the river Fal for hundreds of years.
The native oysters grow in the shallow waters of the upper reaches of the Carrick Roads from which they must be dredged under sail or oar. No power may be used.
This restriction has preserved the fishery. Local fishermen believe the ideal dimensions are a waterline of some 24ft and a draft of no more than 4ft 6ins.
