Cowes Week 2025 Winners & Photos

With over 600 boats across more than 30 classes, this year’s infamous Cowes Week brought some brilliant racing to the Solent, celebrating some top-tier boats and crew. Here are the Cowes Week 2025 Winners…

Earlier in August, from 2nd-9th, one of the world’s largest and oldest regattas (since 1826), gathered sailors from the British Isles and around the world to compete. This year the weather tested the crews, with varied conditions across the week from a light breeze to exciting winds – so exciting that racing was cancelled on the first day as Storm Floris rolled through…

With daily inshore racing and a great mixture of racing formats for IRC-rated yachts, one-designs and cruiser fleets, Cowes Week had something for all. As with years before, Cowes Week 2025’s Women’s Day was a great success, celebrating female sailors and, this year, hosting a record number of female skippers and helms.

And… It wouldn’t be Cowes Week without encouraging young sailors to get involved, as we saw in this year’s youth trophy competitions and the family and club cruiser races.
