The final preparations are underway for this year's tall ships regatta taking place in Cornwall. Falmouth Tall Ships Races Magellan Elcano will see the world's finest boats gather for the prestigious race. This will be the sixth time Falmouth has hosted the globally significant occasion, with the previous event taking place in 2014.

The Cornish port is a favourite of captains and crew alike - so much so that Falmouth has hosted the Tall Ships event more times than any other UK port. It is expected that up to 100,000 visitors are expected to come and enjoy the four-day maritime spectacle in next month.
