Arrival in Fowey

Classics moorings
Fowey Harbour Commissioners (FHC) designate a special mooring area for Fowey Classics
boats. This is normally located on pontoons and fore-and-aft mooring buoys close
to Prime Cellars on the wooded east bank of the harbour, north (upstream) of
Penleath Point. These are reserved for entrants. Some bigger boats may be given separate visitor moorings
These moorings are at a special concessionary rate if you book through "Classic" If you require a "Classics" mooring this should be ordered and paid for when submitting your entry form. The entry fee for the event does not include mooring.
Entrants arriving from seaward will usually be directed to these moorings by an FHC Patrol boat (Fowey Harbour Radio VHF Ch. 12)
Mooring stickers will be issued to paid-up entrants’ boats on arrival and these must be be clearly visible or produced to the patrol staff.

Any boat on the reserved Classics moorings not displaying a special Classics mooring sticker and pennant may be required by the Harbour Patrol to move to a regular Visitors mooring and to pay the appropriate full per night rate.
