There are only a few changes to the Sailing Instructions this year and the basic principle of the racing will follow the same format as 2021, with more starts on a rolling five-minute sequence on the Royal Yacht Squadron start line. The first start on Saturday 31 July will be 1045 for the J/70's, thereafter for the rest of the week, no start will be earlier than 1030.
Onshore we are delighted to welcome back Mount Gay Rum as sponsors of the Cowes Week Opening Party, to be held at the Cowes Yacht Haven events Centre on Saturday 31st July. You will need wristbands to enter which you can pick up at registration, and the famous Mount Gay red caps are making a return for the first 300 sailors through the door!
There are some tickets still available for the official Cowes Week Competitors' Ball to be held on Wednesday, August 3 at the Royal Ocean Racing Club. The theme is (of course!) the Platinum Jubilee with an additional Red/White and Blue theme, allowing plenty of latitude should you go black tie or appropriately dressed to those themes! The team are decorating the Clubhouse and rumour has it that the "Queen" has been booked to serve the bread rolls! You can buy tickets ">here or call 01983 295744.
The Overall Prize Giving on Friday night (August 5th) will be followed by the Closing Party with DJ Mark Covell in charge of the music. Based on how much people enjoyed the opening party he did last year we expect that to be a big night!
If you have any questions please contact regattaoffice@cowesweek.co.uk or call us on 01983 295744.
We look forward to seeing you on the water on 30th July!
