The iShares Cup Race Village at Cowes Week looks set to become Cowes’ new hottest spot this August, with a public bar and tented village open all week on Egypt Point, just minutes along from The Green, the prime viewing area for shoreside spectators!
Open to the public with free entry, the iShares Cup Extreme bar will provide a panoramic view of the Solent sailing all week from Saturday 1 to Saturday 8 August. Open every day from 11am-8pm, with special late opening (until 11pm) on Monday 3 August for the iShares Cup at Cowes Week finale, and Friday 7 August for Cowes Week’s famous fireworks night, the iShares Cup Race Village features the Extreme bar, a food court, entertainment, and some of the best seats in Cowes. Visitors can grab a coffee and cake or cooling ice-cream, and relax as they watch the crews do all the hard work!
The spectacular iShares Cup Extreme 40 Sailing Series returns to Cowes for three days of ultra-competitive sailing in the UK round of the 2009 European Series over the first weekend of Cowes Week from August 1 to 3. With short, sharp courses set just off the Esplanade, spectators can get an up-close view of the thrills-and-spills of Extreme 40 racing. The iShares Cup action begins at 2pm from Saturday to Monday August 1st-3rd, with up to eight action-packed races each afternoon, with live commentary. Every day after the iShares Cup racing there will be prize givings, hear first hand from Extreme 40 skippers, so the public can meet some of sailing’s greatest stars, including Olympic medalists, world champions, record-breaking offshore sailors and America’s Cup teams.
Cowes Week racing takes place every day from 1st-8th August, and throughout the week there will also be special promotions running at the iShares Cup Race Village Extreme bar.
