The Superyacht Cup 2012 comes to Cowes to celebrate the Olympics

Organised in association with the prestigious Royal Yacht Squadron, the Superyacht Cup Cowes will offer owners and guests a unique experience of sailing in the waters of the Solent and around the Isle of Wight, the course made famous by the first America’s Cup in 1851 (then called the Hundred Guinea Cup).

The format for the Superyacht Cup Cowes will be similar to the Superyacht Cup Palma; held over three days racing and four days social activities. The event will include social functions ashore at the Royal Yacht Squadron and various other venues. Following the regatta, owners will have the opportunity to watch the start of the sailing Olympics in Weymouth, or attend the Olympics Opening Ceremony in London.

The Superyacht Cup Cowes 2012 takes place on 22-25 July 2012 and is organised by the Informa Yacht Group.
