The Racing As one of the most well known regattas, Cowes Week truly offers the whole package. With superb racing during the day, this heart of sailing also provides a fantastic social scene in the evenings. Cowes Week attracts an amazingly diverse fleet and crews from all over the world and is a fabulous event to be part of.
When you sign up for the Hot Liquid Cowes Week package you will receive training and coaching by our experienced professional skippers before you take on the rest of the fleet in 8 days of exhilarating racing.
Cowes Week is a perfect event to take part in for both those new to racing and those wanting to improve their skills on board. With different race courses set each day there are plenty of chances to put your training into practice.
Training Your Cowes Week campaign will start with a day of training on the Friday (optional training weekend earlier) with your skipper and fellow crew members. There will be time to get to know your yacht and following this you will practice tacks, gybes, mark rounding, spinnaker work and various other manoeuvres. On Saturday you will start 8 days of racing alongside hundreds of other yachts of all shapes and sizes. You will be racing in a class with other similar yachts with mixed crew abilities. The evenings are generally spent with other crews relaying stories of the day (of which there will be many!) in Cowes.
