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. Asil Nadir's 1986 Bentley Continental will be on display - one of the last Bentley's to be coach built and following careful restoration - took part in the 2023 Le Mans Classic Meeting.

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.

Entries are now open for classic cars. Owners can apply to take part now
