A digitally enhanced photograph of Rebecca, a Falmouth Working Boat, racing during Falmouth Oyster Festival 2018.
Falmouth Oyster Festival, one of Cornwall’s biggest and most well-loved specialist food festivals, celebrates the diversity of Cornish seafood, the native Fal Oyster and the start of the oyster dredging season with 4 days of feasting, live music, craft stalls and cooking demonstrations
Rebecca is a traditional Falmouth working boat, a classic gaff cutter used for fishing oysters the traditional way, dredged under sail or oar in the Fal Estuary, around Mylor and The Roseland and Carrick Roads.
The 2011 season was a very successful one for Rebecca, winning Falmouth week and the Line honours cup, and coming third in the Championships.
