13:53 Thursday 6 Aug 2026 /
You’ll still find the North Sails Cowes Week Youth Sailing Zone run by UKSA on the Parade at Cowes for another two days until the event wraps up on Friday evening. To celebrate the Cowes Week Bicentenary, the YSZ was giving away 200 free Try Sailing sessions. Now they are delighted to have hit the target this morning. 200 sailing novices will have a great chance to get on the water with UKSA.
Supported by the Gosling Foundation, the initiative gives young people the chance to just turn up and experience sailing for the first time.
