Cowes Week is classic summer sailing regatta held every year. There will be an inshore race each day around the various racing marks of the Solent. Racing will start about 10.00 and finish late in the afternoon allowing plenty of time to finely tune those racing skills. There are literally hundred of yachts out for this regatta in all shapes and sizes, for those who love sailing it is the regatta to take part in. Rest assured we will be racing competitively rather than just taking part. Our Racing Skippers have a wealth of racing experience and you’re rest assured to be part of a team that intends to do well during every race. You don’t have to have raced before, as informal race tuition is offered throughout the week.

There will be a lot of shore side activity in the evenings including the Cowes Week Ball, Crew Ball, and Firework Display. The Beer Tent and Night Club will be memorable visits. Cowes Week 2006 will be limited to 1000 boats. Berths are available for the whole regatta or for individual days from Saturday 29th July to Saturday 5th August. Our yachts will be moored in Cowes Yacht Haven, in the hub of the action of Cowes week.
