The Royal London Yacht Club, organiser of Charles Stanley Cowes Classics Week, is delighted to announce that Harken UK is continuing their valued sponsorship of what is becoming the fastest growing regatta in the country.

Charles Stanley Cowes Classics Week has been growing at over 20% per year since its inception in 2008 and expects to further expand in 2015, by increasing the number of boats participating in established classes, particularly XODs, Classic Yachts and Classic Dayboats.

As part of their sponsorship Harken will be hosting their Harken Race Day which will take place on Thursday 23rd July when all classes will be competing for valuable Harken equipment and clothing. The winning boat in each of the 12-15 classes will receive a Harken Wet/Dry Bag filled with goodies worth over £150 RRP

The overall winner on Harken Race Day also receives the coveted Harken Trophy.

Representatives from Harken UK will present the prizes at the Regatta Dinner at the Royal London with more than 200 competitors in attendance.
