About

Falmouth

Falmouth is Cornwall’s leading south coast resort and home to the county’s maritime heritage. Falmouth has flourished as a port for over 400 years. Today, the port offers marina facilities for the yachtsman, quays for visiting cruise liners and has gained an international reputation as one of the great sailing and watersports centres of the world.

Falmouth is a bustling town with many attractions, such as the National Maritime Museum Cornwall, Pendennis Castle and Falmouth Art Gallery. You can find sandy family beaches in Falmouth, including the Blue Flag beach of Gyllyngvase, a 10 minute stroll from the town centre, and Swanpool Beach. Falmouth has a wide range of shops, from specialist outlets to well-known high street names and art galleries. The town has earned its place on the culinary map with many excellent restaurants, cafés and pubs.

Falmouth has a rich tradition of hosting a year-round programme of events such as Henri-Lloyd Falmouth Week and Falmouth Oyster Festival. In 2012 Falmouth is proud to host the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Falmouth Finn Festival. The two-week Festival will include the UK Open Finn Nationals (4th-8th May) and the Finn Gold Cup (13th-18th May).

Ben Ainslie secures sixth Finn Gold Cup as Falmouth Finn Festival closes

18 May 2012 Ben Ainslie secures sixth Finn Gold Cup as Falmouth Finn Festival closes

It has been a week of extremes at the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Finn Gold Cup in Falmouth, UK and the final day was no different. Though a medal race was attempted, it was soon abandoned and an hour later racing was completely abandoned for the day as the wind disappeared. This left Ben Ainslie (GBR) as Finn World Champion for the sixth time. Ed Wright (GBR) took the silver while Jonas Hogh-Christesen (DEN) took the bronze.

Ainslie scores hat-trick in mammoth conditions on day five at J.P. Morgan Asset Management Finn Gold
18 May 2012 Ainslie scores hat-trick in mammoth conditions on day five at J.P. Morgan Asset Management Finn Gold Awesome is an overused word, but today it doesn't really come close to adequately describe the performance of Ben Ainslie (GBR) on day five of the J.P. Morgan Asset Management Finn Gold Cup in Falmouth. In the toughest, roughest conditions that much of the fleet have sailed in for many years he took three race wins and is now within a whisker of his sixth Finn World title. Ed Wright (GBR) remains in second while Jonas Høgh-Christensen (DEN) moves up to third
No racing on Day Four in Falmouth
16 May 2012 No racing on Day Four in Falmouth There was no racing on day four of the J.P. Asset Management Finn Gold Cup in Falmouth, UK, after the wind spent most of the day spinning circles around the race committee.
