A Devon Tradition Heads to Cornwall 2026
The 2026 Pasty Hunt and Run remained a true Devon tradition. However, Cornwall’s spectacular coastline deserved a visit this year.
On a hot July Saturday, eight RIBs gathered at Breakwater Fort, Plymouth.
The planned route included the Eddystone Lighthouse before crossing open water toward Falmouth, combining offshore cruising with stunning coastal scenery.
Strong Winds Change the Plan
The 2026 July heat was intense, with many crews releasing air from their tubes.
The weather had other ideas. A force 4 southwesterly, gusting to force 6, created challenging and confused sea conditions (learn more about this).
The fleet quickly adapted. Instead of continuing to Falmouth, they sheltered behind the Cornish coastline and selected Fowey as the new destination.
