There is still time to get your entry in for Cowes Week 2019. You can enter online until 5pm on Thursday 8th August. After this entries can be made by visiting the Regatta Office or calling 01983 242049.

Cowes Week Competitor App

Our dedicated Cowes Week Competitor App will be available for download shortly, giving every crew member with an iPhone or Android device access to their own personal schedule of racing, course information for the day (including distance and bearing to each mark), race announcements, the official wind forecast that the course setters are working to, and the key social events taking place shoreside.

New features this year include notifications when announcements or courses are released, together with a wallet of exclusive benefit cards that you can use during your time in Cowes. Early next week we'll email out a registration code to each registered crew member giving access to the App - so please do make sure that all of your crew are registered on the Cowes Week entry system.

Sustainability at Cowes Week

This year, CWL has taken the decision not to give competitors bow stickers or decals for their boats in what is sure to be a popular move with the increasing concern about plastic entering the sea.

Competitors are also reminded to bring along a reuasble water bottle whilst at the Regatta and using the refill stations posted at Cowes Yacht Haven and Shepards Marina. Water refills points are also available at selected shops throughout the High Street showing the Refill badge.
