If you have a few hours to spare over the next couple of days, get yourself down to Falmouth for the Funchal 500 Tall Ships Regatta which is taking place until Saturday September 13. As well as being able to see these fantastic ships up close, there’s a massive programme of events taking place in and around Falmouth, for more details see the tall ships website.

If you can’t make it, you can get an excellent idea of what it’s like to be on board one of these magnificent vessels from our full-screen panorama of the Royal Navy of Oman barquette, Shabab Oman docked at Queen’s Wharf in Falmouth yesterday.
