Inshore racing

Cowes Week

Cowes Week is one the largest yachting regattas in the world. Around 1000 yachts make their way to the Solent where they compete for the many prestigious prizes that are up for grabs. The regatta runs for eight days, with usually one race per day lasting around 4 to 6 hours. There are some fantastic apres sail opportunities and the famous Cowes Week Fireworks on the last Friday. (Subject to Covid restrictions). 

At Ventus Sailing, we are offering whole boat charter or individual crew places throughout the regatta. Whether you want to spend the entire week out on the water or can only spare a day or two, get in touch to discuss more options.
