The Cowes Week Regatta sponsored by Aberdeen Asset Management, is not only an important event within the British social season – falling between Glorious Goodwood in July and The Glorious Twelfth (the first day of the grouse shooting season be you so inclined) – but is also the biggest event on the international sailing calendar.
It has been held annually since 1826 with only seven yachts taking part but now features more than 1000 yachts and 8000 competitors – ranging from amateurs to professionals – participating in around 40 daily races which take place on the Solent by the Isle of Wight.
Since 2006 Ladies Day at Cowes Week has been a unique take on a Ladies Day as seen at other British Summer Season events.
The day celebrates the contribution and achievement of women in sailing; and recognizes some of the major successes of women in the sport.
The main focus of Cowes Ladies Day celebrations each year is an exclusive evening reception at which the ‘Ladies Day Trophy’ is awarded. This trophy recognises the outstanding contribution, commitment, or achievement of women in sailing.
In addition there are a variety of fun and celebratory activities on and off the water.
