Here are some pictures from the first day of events.
Title picture: The ladies and mens crews change over between St Agnes heats. Supporters also arrive on the beach to congratuate.
On the first morning, there is a traditional sailing race, where the gigs who support being fitted with masts sail to St Mary’s. The Mystery (Charlestown) is pictured.
The most impressive sight of the year is always the line up off St Agnes for the first heats.
