We race both in the IRC and cruiser classes on our Beneteau First 36.7 and Jeanneau 37 racing around the cans with other boats of the same rating class with an emphasis on fun and having a good time. We can take a max of 8 crew plus Skipper and First Mate. Races are approximately 3-4 hrs in length each day and there is plenty of action and activity on the water with well deserved down-time sampling the fun and frolics ashore afterwards. We pick up and return to Hamble but moor in the river Medina at Cowes for overnights. Be part of our Cowes race team or just be afloat close to the action, learning to sail or doing as little or as much as you want on our spectator days. Either way, you’ll have a great time, experience the atmosphere of Cowes Regatta Week… have fun and learn a lot! Watch the action close up with a yacht spectator/ hospitality day from as little as £945 for the complete boat for 8 with upgraded catering available either afloat or taken ashore. A racing day costs £1,525 . You are looked after by a Skipper and First Mate.

- Professional Skipper & Mate
- Accommodation on board
- Food & drink on board
- Mooring fees & fuel
- Safety equipment

Cowes Weekend 'Fun' Race Events - Individual Berths from £450
We have 2 weekends during Cowes Week Regatta where you can take an individual berth aboard and experience the thrill of racing among the adrenaline fueled fleets of amazing craft. The second weekend includes viewing the fantastic fireworks display from the water on the Friday night returning back to Hamble for a late meal and drinks. On that Fireworks Weekend, the itinerary is slightly different- we race the Saturday and have a chill out sail on the Sunday.
These all inclusive events are social sailing race weekends which means we have a good time without being too serious racing on just 1 day of the weekend. (see itinerary above for specific weekend) The last weekend incorporates the fireworks event and a very quick practice on the Friday evening.
Cowes Week Spectator Days from £945 per Boat
Cowes Week Regatta Race Days - £1,575 / Weekends from £3,650
The 36.7 can be used with 5 being the minimum number to realistically make up a race crew and up to a maximum of 8 – we will supply the professional Race Skipper and First Mate. Races are approximately 3-4hrs in length each day with start times around 11.30am and there is plenty of action and activity on the water and then well deserved down time ashore afterwards. We moor at Cowes and are well placed for all the frolics and fun ashore. We can take care of all your requirements and ensure that your race event runs as smoothly as possible. We offer full corporate branding packages for the yacht and the crew as required.

“A superb mix of ‘racing’ and social made for a hugely memorable weekend for all the right reasons. The well maintained and equipped Orinoco Flow carried us from the Hamble to race on the last day of Cowes. We were thrilled to be taking part and had every confidence in our Skipper & Mate, whose excellent sailing skills were matched only by their culinary expertise. As Steve said, your appropriate approach to learning was just right and it added to what was a wonderfully balanced weekend of friendship, fun and ‘finking’!! Absolutely loved it, thaaanks!!” Gayle and Steve (centre of pic) Want more information or want to book?
