Racing classes and flags

These are the classes which we currently race:

Class E	Handicap Division 1	“The Fast Set” with boats from Mylor, Flushing and Falmouth. These guys and girls do tend to get a bit serious about their racing. Some have even been known to lodge protests.
Class W	Handicap Division 2	Intended to encourage cruising boats that have competed for a few seasons to develop their competitive edge. Formerly Class U.
Class Q	Handicap Division 3	The class that gives Mylor racing its distinctive attraction. Most of the boats in this class were never really built with racing in mind and have handicaps that look like telephone numbers. But they jostle around the course having just as much fun and being just as competitive as the rest. Gaffers compete in this fleet
Class H	Shrimpers	Essentially traditional one-design racing with a fleet of one of the most popular boats to be designed and built in Cornwall. However, small gaffers such as the Cape Cutter 19s also race in this fleet.
Classes are allocated by the Sailing Committee taking into account the preferences of the skipper.
