Cowes Week is one of Europe’s largest and most exciting yacht racing regattas. The First 40 provides the opportunity for some competitive racing in this notoriously challenging tidal location. Whilst good local knowledge is an advantage there are plenty of opportunities to achieve a bullet over the course of the weekend.
During early August around 1000 boats descend on Cowes for the internationally famous Cowes Week Regatta, to compete for the many prestigious prizes that are up for grabs. Many of the world’s finest sailors compete including Olympic medalists, World Champions, and Americas Cup crew alongside families and friends!
Cowes Week is one of Europe’s largest and most exciting yacht racing regattas. With a range of keelboats taking part from day boats to larger ocean-going yachts in a variety of classes there really is something for everyone. With so many boats, classes are organized into two groups, Black Group & White Group, which alternate starts throughout the week from either the Royal Yacht Squadron Start Line or a Committee Vessel Start Line. Racing takes place in The Solent, in the West towards Lymington, in the East towards Portsmouth as well as in Southampton Water which is one of the world's busiest shipping channels! Courses are set according to weather conditions and yacht capabilities. The First 40 provides the opportunity for some competitive racing in this notoriously challenging tidal location. Whilst good local knowledge is an advantage there are plenty of opportunities to achieve a bullet over the course of the weekend.
