Cowes Week 11th - 18th August Cowes Week is one of the UK's longest running and most successful sporting events and is a key highlight of the British sporting summer. It has been held in early August every year since 1826, except during the two world wars. Traditionally, Cowes Week takes place after Glorious Goodwood and before the Glorious Twelfth (the first day of the grouse shooting season) - occasionally the traditional dates are changed to ensure optimum racing, taking account of the tides or, as in 2012, to avoid a clash with the Olympic Games. Over the years the event has attracted British and foreign royalty, and many famous faces. Click here to visit the Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week website

Little Britain Challenge Cup 2012 6th - 9th September The LBCC Regatta is based on the successful formula of a short series of races in the Central Solent area. The schedule consists of one short race on Thursday afternoon, two short races on Friday and two short races on Saturday. All races have equal status, but boats are allowed to discard their worst score if they sail all five races. The Royal Yacht Squadron organises the racing and setting of the courses - giving all competitors the added excitement of Squadron line starts.
