Uncover Cornwall’s rich maritime heritage at the National Maritime Museum Cornwall.

The museum offers a fantastic day out with unbeatable views of Falmouth, changing exciting exhibitions, and fascinating objects and collections.

One of the exciting exhibitions this year is the Sunbeam 100. This intimate exhibition celebrates the 100th anniversary of the Sunbeam one-design keelboat boat racing in Falmouth.

Uncover the history of this unique and revered class from its conception in the early 1920s to the present day, navigating tragedy and controversy along the way. The exhibition features photographs through the ages, video interviews, and fascinating objects including Flushing Sailing Club’s first logbook of Sunbeam races.

Sunbeam 100 has been produced in collaboration with Falmouth Sunbeam Class Association.
