or the first time, the two events that have hitherto been held simultaneously under the informal banner of Cowes Classics Week, have decided to opt for separate, albeit adjacent weeks. Nobody, however, is calling it Cowes Classics Fortnight. The reason is tides, which have also caused Cowes Week itself to be a week later than usual. The Metre and Keelboat organisers have decided to maintain their now-traditional one-week separation from Cowes Week, and their links with the


Household Division and Royal Yacht Squadron one-day regattas and go for 25-29 July which also gives them a neap-tides week. Panerai, meanwhile, has kept to its third week in July slot. Both events have a number of innovations this year. First up then is the Panerai British Classic Week, 16-23 July, formerly known as the BCYC (British Classic Yacht Club) Regatta. With Panerai’s sponsorship, now in its second year, it’s part of the Panerai Classic Yachts Challenge Series – nine regattas covering Antigua, the Mediterranean and the American East Coast.
