Cowes

Cowes lies across the River Medina from East Cowes on England’s Isle of Wight, a position on the Solent that has long tied the town to yachting, ferry traffic and boatbuilding. The estuary opens onto one of Britain’s busiest sailing areas, with regular links across the water between the two towns. Cowes Week, held each summer since 1826, brings racing yachts and crews to the harbour and remains a major event in the British sailing calendar. Cowes Castle, home to the Royal Yacht Squadron, reflects the town’s lasting role in the sport.
