Falmouth Week 2004-05

[WAFOO]

did anybody go to falmouth week this year for the racing and end up severly dissapointed?
we ended up in 5 hour races. completely useless race officers.
courses which did not match the conditions and no wind.

also, the evening entertainment was laid on for the yachtsman but you could only get tickets from about 11am til 3 pm... wierd how our race times were exactly the same!

Falmouth is always the same !! dont bother to go anymore . The turn out for the "classics" was poor too . IMHO of course.

Totally agree, but we need you to write in and say so, it's the only way we can try and do something about it.

Brian The powers to be put on the "classics" and Falmouth week. We pay to participate in their event if the event doesnt fulfill our needs or is considered poor value then the "customers" wont return hence the poor turn out this year .Its Falmouths loss not ours . Maybe "Falmouth" should visit Plymouth and Fowey "classics" and Fowey regatta to see how its done!! IMHO Falmouth "classics"is an embarrassment to the town . I and many others consider that they have been poorly treated by the organisers over the last 3 or 4 years in the way moorings have been allocated to visitors and vow never to participate in the event again .
