Entries are now open for the sixth edition of Cowes Spring Classics which takes place on the weekend of 12-14 May 2023.
Based at Shepards Marina, Cowes Spring Classics is a relaxed weekend regatta to start the season and the organisers look forward to welcoming a wide range of classic boats big and small, including cruisers and cruiser racers, classic day boats, oyster smacks, pilot cutters, raters and gaff rigged boats of all types, also 6 and 8 Metres as well as modern classics.
The popular socials will again be based at the Sugar Store at Shepards Marina, with the Mermaid Gin Welcome Drinks and a new Moroccan themed supper on Friday evening. Saturday evening will again feature a three-course dinner with live entertainment. The prize-giving will be after the racing on Sunday afternoon.
There is a full programme of races on Saturday and Sunday organised by Cowes Corinthian Yacht Club, with separate classes for Bermudan and gaff rigged yachts.
The regatta is expecting a number of new yachts currently finishing restoration to enter and look forward to seeing many of the Solent's leading classics taking part again this year.
