The world's longest running sailing regatta — cancelled last year due to Covid — has a packed programme of racing on The Solent.
One of the biggest changes this year is there will be more starts and finishes from the Royal Yacht Squadron line in Cowes, making for more exciting racing for competitors and spectators alike, say organisers, Cowes Week Ltd.
A completely new class to Cowes Week this year is the Club Cruiser Division, which will have its own start and attract competitors with a new trophy sponsored by The Cruising Association.
There will also be a further three starts in the Performance Cruiser Division.
The biggest fleet of Sonar one designs for more than a decade will gather for the UK Sonar National Championship, being run as part of the regatta.
New for this year are daily prizegiving ceremonies (for the previous day's racing), which will take place daily at 5pm on Cowes Parade.
The overall prizegiving takes place on Friday at Cowes Yacht Haven, with magnums of Cuvée 450 for all class winners and special moments caught on camera.
Shoreside, there is still plenty to see and do at the various venues around town throughout the week with entertainment and bars on The Parade, Cowes Yacht Haven, Shepard's Marina and at Northwood House.
Further information on the entertainment schedule can be found on the website http://www.cowesweek.co.uk or in the Cowes Week app.
