Racing at Cowes

Cowes Week this year runs from 2nd to 9th August and we are able to offer up to 6 places each day for this amazing event to augment or team of 4 experienced racers. Our boat will be based in West Cowes marina, handy for the beer tent and going into Cowes. Cowes Week consists of one race per day and usually there are 50 boats plus in our class. Our usual start time is around 11am, with a finish by 4pm. A typical day runs as follows:

  • Arrive at the marina by 830 am, have breakfast on board and meet the rest of the crew.
  • Help remove any overnight gear to our support van
  • Leave Cowes by 930 and start practicing, especially spinnaker work
  • Watch the earlier classes start and work out our strategy for the day
  • Once we have started we will get a chance for lunch on the spinnaker runs.
  • Back to the marina and off to the beer tent to watch the results come in on the TV screens

Our prices are as follows:

Friday, Saturdays and Sunday :£175 per person per day
Other days :                                 £150 per day

If you book 2 or more consecutive days you can sleep onboard and join in the evening's festivities with the rest of the crew.
