Cowes Classics Regatta Handicap Fleet Splits
Although the final Handicaps Fleet Splits will be published on TBA May 2025 we intend to show the provisional situation during the preceding week.
Regatta Signing-On
The Cowes Classics Regatta signing-on process has been moved online.
Competitors should log in and provide the required crew information before attending the Regatta Race Office where they can collect their Race Packs.
To find your signing-on form you must first 'LOG IN'. Once logged in the main menu link ‘SIGN-ON' will appear.
You do not need to complete the Sign-On form in one go as you can return to complete missing details or perhaps make a crew change right up until Regatta Registration closes.
Cowes Classics Week WhatsApp Groups
To stay up to date please join the WhatsApp Group for your Circuit (links to the groups will be published closer to the regatta).
Crew Finder
There is a WhatsApp group running that’s focussed on bringing boats and crews together, so if you are a skipper looking for crew, or crew looking for a boat, then consider joining the CCR’25 Crewfinder group.
Racing Results
During the Regatta results are displayed at RLYC in the lobby window and online (link will be made available during the regatta).

Notices to Mariners
As well as recreational craft, there are a large number of commercial movements, with high-speed ferries, vehicle ferries, and commercial shipping up to 100m in length moving in and out of the harbour and river. In this busy marine environment it is essential for everyone's safety and enjoyment that all water users understand how to navigate safely in a crowded river and harbour, and know the local regulations. To review the comprehensive list of all active Local Notices to Mariners visit the ABP Southampton Website.
