1st to 3rd October 2010
The Cowes Small Ships Race runs during the first week-end in October each year. The line-up of vessels for this event has steadily increased since the race began in 2004 and now attracts over 30 entries each year. The diversity of the vessels participating is vast and attracts a wide range of rigs, to include what is probably the world's smallest square rigger through to large classic gaff ketches and high performance racing yachts. Everyone races under a handicap system specially devised by Sail Training International, making sure all have a fair chance.
50% of each boat's crew must be aged between 12 and 25 years, making this a truly youth-orientated race.
