Swallow Yachts Raid @ Mylor Yacht Harbour
Jul 1 – Jul 6 all-day

This year’s Swallow Yachts Raid will run from 2nd – 6th July 2017.

The programme has yet to be finalised but will definitely include the now-favourite cream tea run, and we’ll hopefully head out to Helford this time too.  Despite the less than fabulous weather last year the Raid was enjoyed by everyone and we hope to see new faces and people returning again this year!  It’s a fun event, with friendly racing and cruising in company, camping/campervan accommodation can be included as part of the package (first come, first served) and a cooked breakfast can also be included.  Your packed lunches are provided and the days are rounded off with a drink on the jetty and a fantastic evening meal served by Castaways on the harbour front.

Cost of the packages vary depending on what you would like to include so please email events@swallowyachts.com for further information. We can’t accept entries or requests for further information via the forum/comments or to other Swallow Yacht email addresses – you must email and use the events@swallowyachts.com address!
