“My daughter was on the winch… the trimmer shouted for more power, briefly forgetting he was 45 and she was 13.”

For Dan Snow, that’s the magic of Cowes Week — family, racing and memories that last a lifetime. ⛵️

That gybe? Silky.
And just like that… they’re leading.
Panacea X making it look very, very easy out there. 🔥

CW200 = legacy year.
Who takes it? 👇

In August 1873 at Cowes Week, Jennie Jerome met Lord Randolph Churchill.

Three days later, they were engaged.

The following year, their son was born: Winston Churchill.

A regatta romance that changed history. 💘⚓

Sailing IS NOT a spectator sport 👀

Said no-one ever at Cowes Week 🤓

[Cowes Week @cowes_week]

The start between the Sunsail mark and the Royal Yacht Squadron ALWAYS makes for the perfect spectator spot in Cowes... ❤️👑☀️

Nothing like a Cowes Week start line. ⛵🔥
The J/70s lining up on the Solent — bow to bow, inches apart, all chasing the perfect start.
