The CA is delighted to continue its partnership with Cowes Week, 29 July-4 August 2023, as the presenting trophy sponsor for the Club Cruiser Class, which now also extends to the all-new ‘Weekend Warriors Cup’ as a mini-series within the regatta.
The Club Cruiser division, sponsored by the CA, was introduced in 2021 to create a racing class for genuine cruising boats who enjoy the thrill of competition. The division is perfect for family crews and encompasses all standards, with one race per day and course length and style set to suit the boats. Year on year the Club Cruiser line-up has grown, and we are expecting even more entries for 2023. Whether you only get out on the racecourse occasionally or have yet to race at all, the Club Cruiser division is a perfect choice.
Recognising that for some people a whole week's racing is too much of a time commitment, the CA and Cowes Week have created the Weekend Warriors Cup, which takes place from Saturday through Monday, 29-31 July, with a separate trophy for the overall winner of those three days. Cowes Week itself remains the full seven days, with the Weekend Warriors Cup giving you a chance to race for 3 days at a reduced entry fee of £200 for boats up to 10m and £250 for boats over 10m.
CA members racing the entire Cowes Week will benefit from 15% off the full regatta entry fee. Members will need to register their entry here, confirming that they are a CA member.
