Class
E |
 |
PY yachts Division 1 |
"The Fast Set" with boats from Mylor, Flushing and Falmouth. These guys and girls do
tend to get a bit serious about their racing. Some have even been known to lodge protests. |
Class
U |
 |
PY yachts Division 2 |
Effectively a new class for 2009, intended to encourage cruising boats that have competed for a few seasons to develop their competitive edge. |
Class
Q |
 |
PY yachts Division 3 |
The class that gives Mylor racing its distinctive attraction. Most of the boats in
this class were never really built with racing in mind and have handicaps that look like
telephone numbers. But they jostle around the course having just as much fun and being
just as competitive as the rest. |
Class
G |
 |
Gaffers |
This class is always contested by a wide range of types and sizes of craft. |
Class
H |
 |
Shrimpers |
Traditional one design racing with a fleet of one of the most popular boats to be designed and built in Cornwall. |
Class
B |
 |
Large working boats |
"The Queens of Carrick Roads" with big sail areas and big crews racing over the oyster
beds that they dredge under rather less sail usually with just two crew in the winter. |
Class
C |
 |
Small working boats |
A popular class most of whom also work the oyster beds in the winter. They have the
lines of the bigger boats and are just as competitive. |
|
Classes are allocated by the Sailing Committee taking into account the preferences of the skipper.
Class E will only race if there are sufficient entries.
