Since 1826 Cowes Week has played a key part in the British sporting summer calendar and is one of the UK’s longest running and most successful sporting events, this year, taking place between 10th – 16th August. It now stages up to 40 daily races for around 1,000 boats and is the largest sailing regatta of its kind in the world.
Along with our partner company, Britannia Corporate Events, Fairview Sailing can offer you and your team the opportunity to participate or spectate in Cowes Week with absolutely no prior sailing experience! We cater for all sailing abilities, from complete novices to seasoned racers.
With over 30 years experience providing high quality sailing events for a wide range of clients, and fully ISO9001 compliant, you can trust us to look after your day and your clients to the highest level.
Take part in Cowes Week or watch the races in style
If you are looking for an exhilarating day for you and a team of friends or colleagues, then get fully involved in the Cowes Week experience and select one of our yacht racing packages which combines the best of the on-the-water racing followed by shore-side socialising and celebrations. Choose from a single day, multiple days, or full week racing at Cowes Week. Alternatively enjoy the events on a spectator day where you’ll experience the racing action from the water on your own comfortable sailing yacht, high speed rib or luxury powerboat and enjoy VIP hospitality treatment ashore in Cowes.
