Pilgrim BM45 out of Brixham - The King George V Perpetual Challenge Cup Race
Very lucky to be welcomed aboard to film the start of the race. Sailing under canvas is an experience that everyone should have.
The sailing challenge is run as part of Brixfest, a heritage festival celebrating the connection of the lovely town of Brixham, South Devon with the sea. Still a major fishing port and a town with a real sense of community.
