Skandia Cowes Week Tall Ship Sailing Hospitality
When seven yachts signed up for the first organised yacht race at Cowes on 10th August 1826, it is unlikely anyone envisaged that this would become the annual world-class yachting event that we now know as Skandia Cowes Week.
With over 1,000 yachts and 8,500 competitors taking part in some very challenging first-class sailing, the Event attracts a wide range of local, national and international entrants, from true amateurs to Olympic and World champions.
The Event offers something for everyone, with its exciting racing schedule and varied shore side activities all helping to ensure a unique festival atmosphere and an amazing spectacle to behold. As Britain’s premier sailing event Skandia Cowes Week is one of the finest corporate entertaining opportunities available.
