Cowes Week Regatta 2012
Overview:
Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week is the largest annual sporting event in the UK after the London Marathon, with almost 1,000 yachts and 8,000 competitors taking part. Now you can be part of this world famous regatta. Stormforce Coaching is offering a limited number of places on board a racing yacht for a training day and the seven day regatta itself.
You don't have to have raced before to experience Cowes Week. Our package combines a weekend of sail and race training followed by a week of competitive racing with social entertainment.
The programme starts on the evening of Thursday 9th August in Southampton where you will meet your skipper, mate and the rest of the crew for a safety briefing. The next twenty four hours is spent learning and practising the various racing skills and getting to know the rest of the team.
During the training day we make our way over to Cowes (Isle of Wight), where you will live aboard for the week, race each day and soak up the party atmosphere each evening. This is where the fun really starts, Cowes week is as much a social event as a race regatta.
On board will be our racing skipper and mate to help you find your way around the boat and provide coaching, direction and ensure you are well fed. All lunches and snacks are provided. Typically our crew will be of mixed ability at the start of the week, although all will have developed their skills greatly over the event. We are not just offering race charter but also comprehensive training and coaching throughout with team de briefs every afternoon.
