Cowes Week is one of the UK’s longest running and most successful sporting events, and is a key highlight of the British sporting summer. It has been held in early August every year since 1826, except during the two world wars.
The regatta has evolved enormously since 1826, and now between 800 and 1,000 boats race in up to forty different handicap, one-design, and multihull classes every day for eight days. It is this complete mixture of classic and ultra-modern designs that gives the regatta its uniqueness. Several classes that raced more than 50 years ago are still racing today; Dragons, Flying Fifteens, Redwings, Sea View Mermaids, Solent Sunbeams, Swallows, Victories and X-one-designs. New classes are also introduced as they increase in popularity.
Around 8,000 competitors now participate, ranging from Olympic and world class yachtsmen to weekend sailors. The spectacle that the racing provides, together with the vibrant festival atmosphere attracts over 100,000 visitors to Cowes during the event.
You can join us for a few days or for the whole week.
The boat will be moored in Cowes. If you’re joining for the training and prep day, please plan to meet in Hamble in the morning. Exact time TBA.

Meet the skipper in Hamble for a quick safety briefing before heading out on the water for practice, followed by a sail to Cowes. Exact time TBA. Before setting off, everyone will also take part in cleaning and organising the boat to ensure she is ready for the journey ahead.
