Our event has been described as the friendliest and most enjoyable Classic Boat Rally in the southwest of England. The Rally began in 1988 with a gathering of like-minded people who appreciated our long established maritime traditions. In 2007 we celebrated our 20th Anniversary and for the second year running the Event was held in Sutton Harbour in the heart of historic Plymouth.  

We are delighted by our new venue and are looking forward to providing even more features for the 2008 Event.

Sutton Harbour provides a perfect setting for the Classic Boat Rally. It has witnessed many important historical events and has provided a sheltered anchorage for Plymouth for hundreds of years. In Tudor times Drake, Hawkins and of course the Pilgrim Fathers all sailed from here, whilst in later years it became an important port for craft embarking on voyages to distant shores.
