"It’s just a brilliant week. A really unique event that promotes the Isle of Wight in an incredibly positive way. It’s good for Cowes and good for the people that visit."


"[I like] the sailing, the sense of occasion; a well run event that is easy to take part in – generally being part of a sailing festival and the sight of large and small boats on the Solent."


"It’s the most important UK regatta and many of my friends come to it, so it’s a social as well as sailing gathering."


"From a spectator viewpoint, Cowes Week lives up to a long held solid reputation. It’s the only place to be the first week in August."
