Cowes Classics Regatta is delighted to announce the 5th annual Cowes Classics Day, a free community event on The Parade in Cowes, organised by the Royal London Yacht Club.

Isle of Wight residents and visitors will be able to enjoy a display of 60 vintage cars and classic boats meeting the owners and finding out more about their history and care.

Among the classic boats moored on Trinity Landing this year we have Steam Pinnace 199 - the last known functioning Pinnace and a unique part of our naval heritage.
