Cowes Week

1-8 August

The world's biggest and best regatta, right on our doorstep! The eight days of Cowes Week are a whirlwind of racing and partying, with serious action on the water followed by evenings in the beer tent with great live bands playing, or out on the town in Cowes.

The Solent swarms with yachts racing or spectating during the week, which makes for a great atmosphere. Some of the finest racing yachts in the world take part, so there is plenty to admire. Due to the start of the Fastnet Race the following day, the yachts are not available on the final Saturday of Cowes Week.

Price:

One day: £1000 + vat

Whole week : £5000 + vat (not including final Saturday)

Hamble Winter Series
