Cowes Week
Cowes Week is a definite highlight in the sailing calendar and
has been running since 1826, making it the world's longest running
sailing regatta, as well as being one of Britain's biggest annual
sporting events.
Over 8000 competitors race in yachts in 40 classes in varied
'round-the-cans' courses. Entrants are local, national and
international and range from being complete novices to World and
Olympic champions. There is a packed racing schedule with just over
30 races every day for the full 8 days.
Aside from the racing, there is a vibrant social scene that
caters for everyone's taste, with a wide variety of excellent
shops, pubs and cafes to choose from. There is plenty to do day and
night, with live music, a magnificent firework display, the Honda
Dream Team air display and the renowned Guinness and Pimm's
tents!
By chartering one of our yachts from the 2nd to 9th August you
could take part in Cowes Week, which is an experience of a
lifetime.
