Running since 1989, the Bénéteau Cup in Cowes is the holy grail of Bénéteau sailors and owners whose cruising and racing yachts originate from the most successful boat builder in the world.
There are many 'Bénéteau Cups' held around the world for owners, but the UK Cowes event was the first, is by far the biggest, and set to keep growing.
The regatta attracts a full range of sailing and racing abilities, from crack crews in Class A's IRC division through the Class B "Handicap Nationale" cruiser racers, to Class C's family rally enthusiasts who get to pursue a Treasure Hunt on their first day at the event. Apart from this attraction, there are 3 days of full on racing courses in the Solent, managed by the more than experienced Royal Corinthian Yacht Club. Classes are usually split in two according to their ratings to give fair racing to all.
Each year the event hosts a great themed party night, which often involves fancy dress and therefore plenty of opportunity for ‘self-expression'! – party animals should expect a late night…
Recommended for:
All abilities and experience. In particular this event offers a great introduction for beginners, it is sure to get them hooked on the sport. Experienced racers should use this event as an opportunity to enjoy some low-pressure, relaxed but still competitive sailing and socialising in convivial company.
