Cowes Week racing offers a unique regatta that delivers challenging racing on each and every day as best suited to the conditions on the day. The Solent provides a vast race area from the Eastern Solent, outside the historic and busy naval port of Portsmouth, across to Lymington in the West. In the central Solent area Southampton Water is a bustling waterway providing access tot he international port of Southampton. Racing takes place, daily, from the historic Royal Yacht Squadron line or from a number of designated start lines out on the Solent. The complex tidal patterns created by the unique daily double high water found in the Solent provides challenging conditions and positions can change in an instance with equally complex wind conditions coupled with manoeuvrers around large shipping movements and constant ferry traffic. Even the seasonal sailor will find these challenging and exciting courses.
Equally off the water the friendly atmosphere of the local Cowes Town, the marinas along with numerous pubs, restaurants and yacht clubs provide plenty of social events throughout the week. The Isle of Wight provides a beautiful backdrop to the racing and also offers a variety of accommodation options. For those bringing non-racing friends and family there are lots of local attractions ashore beyond Cowes itself. Ranging from the majestic Osbourne House to numerous beaches and the wilder 'Back of the Island'! There are also numerous vantage points to soak up the atmosphere and watch the racing including the famous Cowes Green. On spinnaker runs back to Cowes the racing can be close to shore and the air is filled with the shouts of crews seeking 'water'!
So come and experience the very best of a British sailing regatta in this superb and active setting.
