Welcome to Deloitte Sailing Club, Cowes Week page.
What is Cowes Week?
Cowes Week is one of the longest-running regular regattas in the world. With 40 daily sailing races, around 500 boats and 2500 competitors ranging from Olympic and world-class professionals to weekend sailors, it is the largest sailing regatta of its kind in the world. The event is held in August each year on the Solent (the area of water between southern England and the Isle of Wight).
As well as the sailing activities, the week includes many onshore events including live music and cocktail parties. Marquees are erected in the marinas serving food and drink, and the crowds overflow from busy public houses and restaurants around the narrow high street – the town becomes a hive of activity into the early hours of each morning. Around 100,000 visitors are attracted to Cowes by the festival atmosphere of the event each year in addition to all the competitors.
