Pendennis Cup

2012 Entertainment Programme

The four days of competitive racing during the Pendennis Cup will be complimented by a shore-side entertainments programme allowing Owners, Captains, Crew and our event sponsors to enjoy the delights of our home port of Falmouth.

The full schedule is still being confirmed but events will be planned for each day/evening of the regatta including:


Tuesday 3rd July 2012: Welcome BBQ at the Royal Cornwall Yacht Club (RCYC)
Our welcome event, held at the RCYC is designed to allow all competitors, sponsors and regatta organisers to enjoy each other’s company in the relaxed environment of the Club House, which itself is steeped in classic yacht racing history.


Thursday 5th July 2012 - Owner & Crew lay day events
With two days of racing already completed the lay day provides a welcome break to the Owners, guests and crews on board the competing yachts. Two separate events will be organised, one for Owners and their guests and the other aimed at the crews. In 2010 the Owners enjoyed a luxury lunch looking out over the water, whilst the crews took part in Cornish gig racing competition and were treated to a hog roast and traditional cream teas. Next year we are repeating the traditional 'all you can eat' curry night for the crews, which proved particularly popular in 2010!

Saturday 7th July 2012 - Presentation evening at Pendennis Castle
A spectacular location for the final celebration of the regatta. The awards ceremony will be held at the Castle overlooking the bay, complemented by a full evening of entertainment to finish the week in a truly unique setting.
