In excess of 120 boats and over 500 crews and volunteers are assembling for Cowes Classics Week with racing starting on Monday 27th June.
Fourteen classes will compete for a grand assembly of Royal London Yacht Club trophies and they’re expected to be hotly contested. Both windward/leeward and round-the-cans racing is organised on four race circuits, all sponsored by GJW Direct.
Despite the popularity of this regatta, competitors are still able to enjoy a very welcoming, club-based social program throughout the week. This includes tea & cakes after racing, daily prize-givings and evening meals, all based at the RLYC and the other yacht clubs in Cowes.
Since 1826 Cowes Week has played a key part in the British sporting summer calendar and is one of the UK's longest running and most successful sporting events. It now stages up to 40 daily races for around 750 boats and is the largest sailing regatta of its kind in the world.
