Mooring during Cowes week for non competitive boats

[thesaintlyone]

What is the cost of mooring and likely hood of getting one during Cowes week in Cowes for non competitive boats. Usually go with friends and camp this year have a chance to take the Westerly Longbow 31 as she will hopefully be moored in Porchester full time by then anyways

The marinas will be rammed. Your best bet is probably to go up to the Folly.

Or Island Harbour perhaps, although I expect the Waterbus service from there to Cowes will be operating at breaking point quite apart from being hideously expensive.

We used to take non-competing yachts as accommodation for the dayboat classes.
Ask Cowes HM oor The Corynthian YC.

Dunno but thousands seem to be attracted to it.

BTW The acronym in your post contravenes the forum rules !

As others have said Cowes will be crowed out. As a an alternative can I suggest Ocean Village or Town Quay in Southampton and commuting to the festivities by Red Funnel?

I'll refer you to the May 2018 MBY on that one
