Cowes Classics Week gets underway in just ten days, which gives skippers and keen crews plenty of time to study the Sailing Instructions which have just been published online.

You can find the Sailing Instructions ready for download from the Official Regatta Noticeboard area of the website, where we will also publish associated documents such as briefing notes when they become available.
