Cowes Week!  Do we need to say any more? Cowes Week regatta has earned the reputation of being “The most famous sailing regatta in the World” and now forms part of the British Summer social calendar.

Up to 1,000 boats and 8,000 crew race over eight days in the Central, Eastern and Western Solent. Cowes attracts the greatest number of yachts and sailors to compete in some of the most challenging races set in these world-renowned waters. With a history spanning nearly 180 years and sailing's best party atmosphere, it's easy to see why the event is one of the World's premier sporting events and the Number 1 yachting Regatta. Cowes Week is not for the faint hearted with serious racing and serious partying, it is not necessary to be an expert sailor/racer although some spinnaker sailing experience is required. Pre-event race training will be offered if you feel that you are low on experience.

The Cowes beer tent comes alive as soon as the racing finishes for the day as crews swap stories over a drink or two. The fun is none stop and you will wonder how you find the time to race.

The town of Cowes provides excellent facilities, with plenty of pubs, bars, restaurants and cafes to choose from.

The 'Must Do' Event on the International Sailing Calendar - Whether an amateur or professional sailor, a World Champion or an Olympic medallist, this is the EVENT you MUST DO

Yes, Cowes Week is something that everyone should do at least once in their life time.

Why not experience it all first hand by joining Reach 4 the Wind at Cowes Week

This is English summer weather; we could see beautiful blue skies with force 3 to 4 south Westerlies or grey clouds and near gale force winds. You will need to be prepared for anything!

For 2009 we will be sailing a new Grand Soleil 45. The yacht offers an unrivalled combination of sparkling sailing performance, beautiful lines and top build quality.

The cabin proportions are unusually roomy for such a fast yacht, with a traditional L- shaped galley, large navigation station and twin heads.

The construction uses a galvanised steel frame to take the loads of the keel, mast base and rigging creating a very stiff and low centre of gravity feel

Fully proven in the 2005 and 2007 Fastnet Race, she is equipped with a full set of racing sails manufacture by Northsails

The IRC rating is very competitive at 1.074 This new model is already finding success, the first notable being victory at Spi Ouest - doubtless with many more to follow.
