Voyage Description

 

The Classic Sailing Pilot Cutter Review 2010

This event is organised by ourselves, with a lot of help from local businesses and the pilot cutter owners themselves. Many of the vessels are owned by private owners but Eve of St Mawes and Annabel J are both charter vessels so you can become race crew on either pilot cutter for this event. If you book early enough you can bring a group and charter the whole boat or both. (or reserve it for 2011)

The 2010 pilot cutter review will follow a similar format to last year but we are always looking for ways of making it more fun for the crews.

Pilot Cutters planning to come so far in 2010 are Eve, Annabel J, Agnes, Pegasus, Mascotte, Cornubia, Hesper, Cariad, gaff cutter Chloe May.

Want to sail as guest crew at the 2010 pilot cutter review ?

(An article on 2009 Classic Sailing Pilot Cutter Review)

Creating Scenes from the Past

Yes there was plenty of racing at this year’s Pilot Cutter Review, but for me the backdrop is everything. It’s about creating evocative scenes out on the water and in the ports where the fleet gather each evening. The beauty of our two venues for the fleet of eight pilot cutters this year was their timeless quality. Visually you could travel back in time to a period where vessels had to set sails to move off the berth or weigh anchor.

Owners of pilot cutter Hesper provided the artists setting for the welcome party in Fowey... Prime Cellars with its twisted slate roof nestling under the Polruan woods has its own stone quay – ideal to lay a pilot cutter or two against the wall but originally used for salting the fish catch. Fowey Harbour Commissioners allowed visiting pilot cutters to raft up in the river 20 yards from our hosts and we all rowed over for the free beer from St Austell Brewery, local cheeses and apples. Looking through the sea of masts, deadeyes, blocks and tackles it was hard to believe virtually all the pilot cutters attending this year were replicas.

Celebrating Boatbuilding & Vision

Eve of St Mawes, Hesper, Agnes and the newly launched Amelie Rose were all built by Luke Powell of Working Sail. As a former owner of Charmian, Luke could claim he designed the prettiest half of Charmian too (He rebuilt the aft half of this historic wooden working boat in that famous fan tail counter style that became the inspiration for his first pilot cutter Eve).

Cornish wooden boatbuilding was also represented well by pilot cutter Polly Agatha, built by Cockwell’s Modern & Classic Boatbuilding Ltd in 2008 and back to the West Country to race again. The acres of wooden decks on Annabel J and a period interior that pilots would have been proud of, kept her sleek steel hull a secret to most observers. Owner Phil Cogdell was looking forward to racing with original pilot cutter Marguerite for the first time, as this well charter boat was based on her hull lines.

St Austell Brewery Tribute Passage Race

“Start Line – a line SE from Cannis Rock at 1000am to St Mawes Bay”….but where was the bouy ? Cornish ‘mizzle’ and fog, a few last minute provisioning forays, led to a rather straggly start that nobody could see anyway ! The mist finally rolled away from the Dodman and the results of the tacking in the fog were revealed. Annabel J won line honours by 9 minutes from Hesper which was enough for her to win on corrected time.

St Mawes Bay – Historic Base for Pilot Cutters

Open to the South West, St Mawes Bay provides a clear view of the Manacles and down towards the Lizard. Gaining a head start on the Falmouth based pilot cutters, several large pilot cutters were based in the village, and its boatyards were famous for building fast pilot gigs. Classic Sailing created the pilot cutter review event to celebrate the local pilot trade connection, and the local community gets a great thrill from hosting the ‘big’ pilot cutter racing as an extra annual event to complement its Falmouth Working Boat ‘World Championships and various gig boat events.
St Mawes Bay is less than half a mile wide and with hills all around makes a perfect amphitheatre for visitors and locals to watch the start and finish of each race. The Social Club provided a huge paella crew supper with locally caught fish and tons of scallops on the terrace.

Saturday Pilot Cutter Race 2009

If you want to show off your boat then anchor it in the middle of the bay, not alongside in a marina. St Mawes Pier & Harbour Company sponsored the event for the 4th year running allowing the fleet to anchor just off the historic harbour wall, creating a picture in the early morning mist.

Original pilot cutter Marguerite joined the fleet for the weekend racing. The fleet now ranged in size from Charmian and Eve at 37ft to Marguerite and Annabel J at over 54ft on deck but they all looked magnificent in the sunshine and force 3-4 winds as they tested the start line off St Mawes Castle. Eve, Annabel J, Polly Agatha and Amelie Rose had charter crews on board rather than experienced racers, but they all put huge amounts of effort into the windward leg (you get plenty of tacking in pilot cutter events !). Hesper and Marguerite had a few hairy crew with 4 legs (WOOF) so it was all rather civilised with an absence of bowsprit bullying. Agnes was short of a topmast and with no handicap concessions given she was unable to beat her favourite rival Hesper over the line. Annabel J was first across the line again but Charmian raced hard and came in second beating Polly Agatha to win the days racing on handicap. (final results with handicaps 1st Charmian, 2nd Annabel J, 3rd Polly Agatha, 4th Agnes, 5th Amelie Rose, 6th Eve of St Mawes, 7th Hesper, 8th Marguerite)

Sunday Pilot Cutter Race 2009

An afternoon start gave a change for the sea breeze to build, and the rest of us to socialise. Pilot cutters rafted up or went for a row to say hello. One of Eve’s charter crew was enjoying the scenery so much he nearly rowed to St Anthony’s lighthouse to get the best camera angle.

The start was a follow my leader crossing of the line for most boats – creating a pilot cutter review style parade of sail for the photographers ashore. The finish was much tighter with Annabel J and Hesper so pre-ocupied with their luffing battle they failed to notice Amelie Rose and her brand new sails storm over the line first by going for the nearest end ! Charmian was 5th over the line but well ahead of Agnes, Eve and Marguerite so she won on handicap (1st Charmian, 2nd Annabel J, 3rd Amelie Rose, 4th Polly Agatha, 5th Hesper, 6th Eve, 7th Agnes, 8th Marguerite).

Overall Winner in 2009 was Charmian. (2008 Iris, 2007 Hesper, 2006 Jolie Brise)

St Mawes

Joining or leaving point.

Assemble towards the end of St Mawes Quay. There is only one quay right in the centre of the village. If the tide is in you will be able to board directly on to Eve of St Mawes or Annabel J. If there is not enough tide you will be taken out to your pilot cutter by dinghy.

Getting to or from your port.

Ferry is the best way. Contact St Mawes Ferry on 01872 861 911 or 07855 438 674 http://www.kingharryscornwall.co.uk/ferries Ferries are hourly in winter and three per hour in the summer.

Train

To get to St Mawes Ferry catch the train to the “Falmouth The Dell” Station which is on the branch line from Truro. Trains come into Cornwall to Truro from many parts of the UK. http://www.raileasy.co.uk

“The Dell” is ten minutes walk from Customs House Quay where one of three ferries runs to St Mawes in the summer. In the winter it is about another five minutes walk to the Prince of Wales Pier.

Bus and Coach

First Group run a regular service from Truro Bus Station a twenty minute walk from the Railway Station.  http://www.firstgroup.com/ukbus/southwest/devon/home/index.php

Service No 50 - Tel 0871 200 2233 

Plane

Newquay Airport (NQY) is about 40 miles away and about £55 taxi fare.

Taxi - You can book a local taxi on 01326 279 042 or 07971 104 909 ask for Graham.

Flights currently from London Gatwick, London City Airport, Belfast City, Durham, Edinburgh, Leeds – Bradford, Manchester, Stansted. See http://www.flightmapping.com/maps/UKIreland 

Road

The A30 is the best route into Cornwall for St Mawes – if you follow a Sat Nav you will probably be taken via King Harry Car Ferry which is not the quickest route but is worth doing for the experience.

The best way is to leave the A30 at Fraddon and follow the B3275 until it meets the A390 where you turn left for a little way back towards St Austell. Then follow the signs to the right for the A3078 which ends in St Mawes. 

Parking

There are two car parks in St Mawes both trouble free and requiring coins.

St Mawes Quay Car Park is very convenient as it is where you join your voyage but is a little more expensive.

St Mawes Central Car Park run by the St Just in Roseland Parish Council at about £18.00 for 6 days is recommended. It is just a minute walk from the Quay. 

History

St Mawes has a beautiful Tudor Castle built at King Henry 8th directions to be half of the Castles that protected the Fal from the Spanish. The Castle is unique in being in the shape of a clover leaf without any later spoiling additions. It was in constant military usage from 1568 to 1918 when it was handed over to what is now English Heritage.

The artist William Turner made St Mawes famous by painting a scene of the fishing harbour with the Castle on the hill behind, very Italianette,  http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?workid=14744&tabview=image

 St Mawes was the main port for Falmouth Pilot Boats and is still an active fishing village.

Eve of St Mawes was launched new in 1997

Eve of St Mawes lots of information pdf

Eve owes her heritage to the pilot Cutters of the Isles of Scilly. Rugged and versatile craft built to withstand the rigours of the Western Approaches in comfort and safety; these little ships were fast, weatherly and immensely strong.

Built in 1996 by Luke Powell, many people mistake Eve for an old boat; such is the sense of history within her solid new timbers. Constructed entirely traditionally from the best materials available, Eve was built to last. She has been admired, photographed and written about countless times. 

" Nobody would have guessed this as a brand new vessel. The feeling of history inherent in theses vessels was present in Eve" Classic Boat Magazine article on Eve of St Mawes 1997  

 

Voyage Style

A hard working and plucky ship earning her keep, Eve offers block and tackle sailing on an intimate scale. On deck you have a boat only 38’ long that beginners can throw around easily for RYA teaching, but the beauty of a bowsprit is that she can also spread her wings.

Under full canvas from overhanging boom to bowsprit cap she becomes a 51’ cutter – able to set 5 sails, keep experienced sailors very busy and create quite a spectacle around the small ports and harbours of Cornwall, Brittany and the Scillies.

Eve is large enough to accommodate 6 in comfort and carry enough resources to sail independently of marinas, yet small enough to do some serious creek crawling. She fits perfectly into the secluded anchorages and out of the way corners of her playground.

Leaving only the sparkling wake behind her makes you realise the full potential of traditional boats like Eve of St Mawes and the ethical forces behind them. 

"Eve is a beautiful boat, outside and in, and the all wood construction adds a charm distinctly lacking in most modern boats - real character " - Rob. 

 

Whole Boat Prices

6 go for the price of 5 on any available voyage in Eve's published programme.
