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

Book your place for £5, which includes a voucher for a bacon roll and hot drink on arrival, and a great discount offer on ferry travel from Red Funnel.

A welcome to all

This special day is organised by the Royal London Yacht Club and supported by Cowes Town Council. There is something for all ages with displays, entertainment and refreshment stalls in the heart of Cowes.
