Cowes Week is not only the best-known event in the British sailing calendar, but it also offers great opportunities for entertaining your guests on the water and amongst the action. Essentially a huge regatta, the hundreds of competing yachts draw thousands of spectators and partygoers eager to participate in this colourful sailing carnival. Topsail Events has been offering waterborne hospitality at Cowes for over ten years with a fine fleet of Thames sailing barges, motor yachts and Tall Ships. In addition to witnessing the start of the renowned class racing off the Royal Yacht Squadron, Cowes Week offers a great maritime display including many magnificent Tall Ships and historic square-riggers. To cap it all off we will anchor up for lunch near the huge yachts of the rich, and the famous. Topsail Events fine vessels provide excellent platforms from which to watch the racing close-up. The vessels have been selected for their charm and comfort and will offer guests a full day’s catering and bar. Meals will be buffet-style so as to allow freedom to take in the key moments of Cowes Week itself. | Please note that this event is for charter groups only, not for individuals.
