Fowey Classics

A few classic boats seen around Fowey.


 No idea what this boat is, long and lean she has classic long overhangs at bow and stern.


From a distance this looked like a Harrison Butler, but I've been nown to be wrong on more than one occasion.



One my all time favorites a Troy class ashore at Fowey Boat Yard and looking immaculate.


A Fowey River class out for a Sunday afternoon sail, it was pretty blustery so heading up river to the more sheltered stretches was probably a wise decision,

  2. IOD for sure. Still the gold standard for beauty.

  4. Thanks marco, Black pearl looks fantastic. I meant to drop by while we were in town but that's a big hill.

    Looked like you were on the shout with the capsized U20.

  5. Hello, I'm no expert but I reckon the blue yacht is an international dragon. There are a few down here in Falmouth.
