King of Cowes

Founded in 1826, Skandia Cowes Week has become the largest and most prestigious sailing regatta in the World. Over 1,000 boats, in 32 classes, now race in this great sailing regatta. Until 2007 class winners never had an opportunity to race each other on a level playing field, now they can identify the ultimate King of Cowes.

For the first time in 2007 the Laser SB3 Class, in association with Volkswagen Touareg and with the support of Cowes Combined Clubs and Skandia Cowes Week, created a very special invitation only event to find the Volkswagen Touareg King of Cowes at Skandia Cowes Week.
