Saturday 29 August 2009 - Race Day
Guests are invited on board to the official Start Boat at 9:00am to enjoy the exhilarating experience of the offshore start of this world famous race. The Start Boat leads all 60 race boats down the Solent - and then drops the flag off Lymington, letting loose thousands of horsepower into the English Channel. Some boats race to Torquay and some to Poole and back. 

Members and their guests then return to Cowes to enjoy time on the quayside and in the pubs and restaurants in this delightful town - awaiting the racers' return.

Your day will include VIP pit passes with access to all areas, the competitors and their boats offering you the chance to view up close these magnificent craft and take in some of the atmosphere of this very special day.

The day will end with attendance at the Prize Giving ceremony at The Royal Yacht Squadron, a cash bar will be open for this part of the day for you to purchase drinks for yourself and guests.
