Last two crew places to race in Cowes Week with Flying Fish

6 July 2010

Flying Fish UK welcomes individual sailors to train and race in Cowes Week in the first week of August. The event has a huge amount to offer competitors and visitors alike, with a challenging schedule afloat and a packed entertainment programme ashore.

Flying Fish is competing as usual this year, with two entries in the Beneteau 40.7 class: HOT STUFF and FLYING FISH OF COWES.

Today there are just two crew places left. Race all day, relax or party in the evening, then sleep ashore in comfort at Point Cottages by the water's edge.

Cowes Week is surely the greatest regatta in the world - so be prepared for some fierce competition out on the water.

Join the crew on 17th July for a weekend of race training. Cowes Week itself starts on Saturday 31st July, with racing each day to Friday or Saturday 7th.

The sheltered waters and challenging tides in the Solent make for keen racing during Cowes Week. Most classes start and finish on the Royal Yacht Squadron line and sail 'round-the-cans' on courses designed to suit the style of each class of boat and the conditions of the day.

Cowes is home to Flying Fish UK and the team likes to be well prepared each year for the local regatta. The Flying Fish race programme includes a week end of training in tactics, boat handling and spinnaker technique before the start of the big event.
