Episode 28: Cowes When When Regatta's Co Habit with ULCCs
Cowes Week stands unmatched in its scale among recreational sailing events—instantly recognisable by its hundreds of competing yachts, thousands of sailors, and tens of thousands of spectators.
Approaching its 200th anniversary this major sailing event takes place within the Solent every year. The organisation of such a large regatta requires early and detailed interaction with Harbour Authorities to ensure that it is run safely with risks mitigated and measures in place.
On his 25th year involved with the event, Barry discusses the legislation and codes behind the requirements of such regattas and gives an insight into how ultra large vessels can safely co-habit a stretch of water with hundreds of sailing vessels competing in such a high profile international event.
