Cowes Week 2012

Cowes Week from 11-19 August 2012 is the largest sailing regatta of its kind in the world, now hosting over 40 races a day for over 1000 yachts.

Competitors range from world class professionals to weekend sailors who come to enjoy the unique mix of sailing and social activities. It is genuinely a one-of-a-kind event- come and see for yourself!
Day Racing
We will be racing Wairua (our J80) during the Week with a ‘base crew’ who have experience of racing at different levels and on different boats, from dinghies to 50ft Oysters!

As part of the racing, we provide a training day so that, by the time we cross the start line, we are working well as a team. We don’t expect to be first across the finish line, but we will have had much fun around the course.

For the training day, you join us at our berth in the Hamble as we talk tactics and positions. We then head out into the Solent, without delay, to begin our practice. Upwind sailing first and then moving onto the spinnaker. We will be making the most of the day, before returning to our marina early evening. Your Training Day is held in advance of Cowes Week.

Over the Race Days we will be based in Cowes so we will meet you early from the Ferry/Fastcat as we head out for some practice. We will then have a 4-5 hour race around the buoys in the Solent before returning to our berth at East Cowes.

If you are staying just for the day, you are welcome to join us for the evenings social events.

What is included?
The cost of our Cowes Racing Days includes your training day and as many race days as you like. Lunch is provided together with our now famous homemade cake.

The cost of mooring fees and race entry fees is included in the price of the event. Accomodation is not included.

Upon booking you will receive your Joining Instructions which provide a suggested list of what to bring. Sailing waterproofs are an important item, whatever the time of year, as they keep you warm and dry. We have these for you to borrow, free of charge. You are likely to have most other items on the list and we encourage clients to travel light because of the limited storage room on board.

Your Joining Instructions will also detail where to find us. We sail from Royal Clarence Marina in Gosport which is easily accessed by road (it is 20 minutes from the M27 at Fareham) or by direct train from Waterloo to Portsmouth Harbour.

We look forward to sailing with you!
