2012 looks to be a very exciting year for competitive sailing, with a host of regattas taking place in the exciting waters of the Solent. Panerai British Classic Week will once again provide a magnificent spectacle of classic yacht racing with entries from the UK and Europe taking part.
8mR World Championships taking place afterwards we are hoping that a large number of these beautiful boats will also be participating in Panerai British Classic Week.

There will be a five-race series, plus a race around the Island following the original clockwise course of the first America’s Cup - racing will be demanding and competitive but will still retain that Corinthian spirit synonymous with classic boat racing. In addition to the exciting racing, there will be whole host of social events held in the sailing clubs of Cowes, including the prestigious Royal Yacht Squadron.
The regatta, which is part of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge, has been held every year since the America’s Cup Jubilee was held in Cowes in 2001. Entry numbers for the regatta have steadily risen each year, with over 70 boats entered in 2011. This made for a beautiful sight in the harbour and out on the water, and in 2012 we expect many more to take part.
Entry forms will be available early April, so if you are not already on the mailing list please contact the Regatta Office to ensure you are kept up to date with all the latest news.
Panerai British Classic Week is part of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge.
