Adventure Summary

It’s the highlight of the Pilot Cutter year as boats from all over the country head to the St Mawes Pilot Cutter Review for a week of racing and shoreside frolics in this stunning Cornish harbour. There’s always plenty of action on the water but the camerarderie ashore is what really makes this event special.

It’s the longest running of the Pilot Cutter events, regularly attracting a big fleet of these magnificent boats to engage in the friendliest of rivalries. There’s no need for bulging muscles and a head full of rules, just turn up and enjoy.

Amelie Rose won the event in 2015 and has been on the podium in 3 out of the last 5 years so there’s everything to play for and we really hope that you’ll come along to join in the fun.
