The Solent, a legendary stretch of water between England and the Isle of Wight, and surrounding areas will host some incredible sailing events in 2025. Known for its strong tides and scenic surroundings, the Solent, along with the south coast waters in general, draw enthusiasts from all over for regattas and races of all types.
Here are some key events to mark on your calendar and tips on how you can join the action with Fairview Sailing.
Cowes Week (August 2-9, 2025):
As one of the world’s oldest regattas, Cowes Week is synonymous with excitement and tradition. This week-long event showcases intense competition across various classes and a festive onshore atmosphere that’s perfect for sailors and spectators alike. We are delighted that the inaugural Weekend Warriors Cup winner sailed to victory on board one of our Oceanis 37s. Next year, it could be you!
Take part by chartering one of our yachts or as part of a Corporate Hospitality Day.
The Round the Island Race (June 28, 2025):
Another iconic event, the Round the Island Race attracts over 1,200 boats annually to circumnavigate the Isle of Wight. The 50-nautical-mile course presents a thrilling challenge that’s suited to sailors of all experience levels.
Similar to Cowes Week, you can charter one of our Oceanis 37s or First 40s, or take part on a Corporate Sailing Day.
Dartmouth Royal Regatta (August 28-30, 2025):
Just a bit further southwest from the Solent, Dartmouth hosts this picturesque regatta that boasts a packed race schedule, with events for dinghies, keelboats, and more. This regatta is renowned for its welcoming vibe and grand fireworks display over the River Dart, making it well worth the trip.
We offer bespoke charter packages for this event, so you can pick your yacht up before the regatta commences, sail to Dartmouth, take part and return. Contact the team for more information.
