“COWES IS ONE OF THE MOST INTERESTING
AND CHALLENGING PLACES IN THE WORLD
TO SAIL. AND BEING ABLE TO WALK OR
BIKE EVERYWHERE WITHOUT HAVING TO
BOTHER WITH THE CAR IS AMAZING.”
ANDREW PALFREY (“DOG”)
AMERICA’S CUP COACH
PAST ETCHELLS WORLD CHAMPION
“COWES IS ONE OF MY FAVOURITE PLACES TO
SAIL. I’VE ENJOYED EVERY REGATTA THERE,
INCLUDING THE ETCHELLS WORLD
CHAMPIONSHIPS IN
1996 AND 2007.
I CAN’T WAIT TO GET BACK”

“BOTH ON AND OFF THE WATER, COWES IS ONE OF THE VERY BEST
YACHT RACING LOCATIONS IN THE WORLD, AND OF COURSE WAS THE
BIRTHPLACE OF THE AMERICA’S CUP. I HAD THE HONOUR OF HELMING
THE WINNING AMERICA’S CUP YACHT, AUSTRALIA II, WITH MY ORIGINAL
1983 CREW, AT COWES DURING THE 2001 JUBILEE CELEBRATIONS.
I LOOK FORWARD TO RETURNING IN 2016, RACING MY ETCHELLS.”

THE BOA
8
AT
30 feet of pure one-design sailing machine which can plane downwind, and slips along in the
light. Owner-driven with two or three crew, strict one-design credentials and an annual six-sail
limit. It’s as much fun as the big boats, but less hassle with fewer crew and less maintenance.
Dry sailed, and easy to trail or ship overseas, it fits into a 40 foot container. The annual World
Championships are held in different places each year – USA, Australia, Europe and Asia. 50 fleets
worldwide and over 1,400 boats built to date, with older boats retaining their competitiveness.
Past world champions include:
Dennis Connor, Bill Hardesty, Stuart Childerley,
Andy Beadsworth, Jud Smith, Ken Read, Poul
Hoj-Jensen, Vince Brun, Dave Curtis and Chris
Law. Ben Ainslie was third in the 2009 Worlds
sailing with John Bertrand and Andrew Palfrey,
the last two going on to win the 2010 Worlds
with Tom Slingsby.

COWESL
We are a friendly fleet in Cowes and
have several socials throughout the year. We
meet (with beer) on the dock after racing.
During the Etchells Invitational Regatta for the
Gertrude Cup, and the Etchells World Championship in 2016, the non-sailing partners will
be able to meet each morning at 10:00am for
coffee at the Royal London Yacht Club . A nonsailing partner from the Cowes Etchells fleet will
attend with suggestions and information to help
plan the day, or just chat.
There’s lots to do around Cowes and the Isle of
Wight for those not sailing, with plenty of public
transport to get around. The Royal London YC
is open all day for breakfasts, morning coffee
and lunch with fantastic views across the Solent
and the racing area.
The Isle of Wight has been officially designated
as an Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. If
there are sufficient numbers interested we will
arrange a tour of the Island with an experienced guide.
18
OSBORNE HOUSE
The Isle of Wight is famous for its royal connections, and nowhere more so than Osborne
House in East Cowes, the seaside palace home
of Queen Victoria. The house was built between
1845-1851 and there are stunning views from
the terraces across The Solent.
To get there you can take the Chain Ferry over to
East Cowes, and walk 20 minutes up the hill, or
take the Southern Vectis no.4 or no.5 buses from
East Cowes town centre.
WALKS FROM COWES
There are a number of interesting walks in and
around Cowes, for all abilities. Several walks are
detailed in the Cowes Port Handbook.
A
SLONDON
AND NON SAILING PARTNERS
A 3-day event in London is available for non-sailing partners. You will be staying at the Royal Thames Yacht Club overlooking Hyde Park. We
have arranged informative and entertaining London tours led by Jo Baddeley, one of London’s top Blue Badge guides. There is plenty of leisure
time to visit galleries, museums, shops and London’s historic sites. On the 4th day you will be escorted to Cowes to meet up with your partner.

YOUT
THE ETCHELLS YOUTH SAILING PROGRAMME, WHICH HAS OPERATED SINCE 2012, HAS
ENABLED DOZENS OF TOP YOUNG SAILORS TO HONE THEIR SKILLS AND GAIN VALUABLE
ONE DESIGN KEELBOAT EXPERIENCE.
22
IN ADDITION TO TWO FULLY FUNDED BOATS, THERE ARE ALSO PLENTY OF OPPORTUNITIES
TO RACE AS CREW WITH EXISTING OWNERS IN THE FLEET. OVER THE PAST THREE YEARS
THE PROGRAMME HAS THEREFORE INVOLVED AROUND 130 YOUNG SAILORS IN TOTAL.
PREVIOUS ETCHELLS YOUTH PROGRAMME PARTICIPANTS HAVE GONE ON TO WIN THE
UK AND EUROPEAN YOUTH MATCH RACING CHAMPIONSHIPS, THE WOMEN’S STUDENT
MATCH RACING WORLDS AND HAVE RACED AT THE ETCHELLS WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP IN
NEWPORT, RHODE ISLAND.
T
T
THANKTED
YOU
FORT
MUCH OF THIS OUTSTANDING YOUTH PROGRAMME HAS BEEN DUE TO THE GENEROSITY OF CLASS ADMIRAL EDWARD S FORT OBE, WHO HAS BOTH PROVIDED FUNDING AND LOANED HIS BOATS FOR THE PROGRAMME.
“I’VE GOT SO MUCH OUT OF SAILING THROUGHOUT MY LIFE, ESPECIALLY COURAGE AND AMBITION.
BESIDES, WHEN YOU’RE IN BUSINESS YOU HAVE TO THINK ABOUT THE START LINE. I BELIEVE THE
FUTURE OF THE CLASS HERE IN COWES IS IN YOUTH SAILORS”
“THE INITIATIVE PROVIDED A FANTASTIC OPPORTUNITY FOR YOUNG SAILORS TO
BE INVOLVED WITH THE ETCHELLS CLASS RACING AND OWNERS. MANY SAILORS
HAVE FOUND A HOME IN THE CLASS AND THE GENEROSITY OF THE OWNERS HAS
FUELLED THE CLASS’S RECENT EXPANSION. ALSO MANY SAILORS WHO WERE NOT
GRANTED BOATS HAVE BEEN RECRUITED BY OWNERS INTO THEIR EXISTING
CAMPAIGNS”
