There’s nothing quite like Cowes Week for the maritime enthusiast; it is the oldest and biggest yearly sailing regatta in the World and one of the most important events of the British sporting calendar. The event features an 8-day schedule combining competitive racing, hospitality and a spirit of adventure for the 8,000 competitors and 100,000 spectators who enjoy a fantastic line up of entertainment both on the water and off, day and night.
