Make the most of the UK’s biggest sailing events this summer

  • The summer sailing calendar is packed with iconic events – and whether you’re a seasoned sailor or an enthusiastic newcomer, there’s never been a better time to get involved.

At Sailing Logic, we offer a range of ways to experience the action: from bareboat charters and skippered race packages, to individual race spots for those looking to step aboard and take part.

Here’s your guide to getting involved in SailGP Portsmouth, Cowes Week, The Ocean Race Europe, and Dartmouth Royal Regatta Sailing Week – and how Sailing Logic can help get you on the water.

SailGP Portsmouth – Feel the speed up close 

Dates: 19 – 20 July 2025
Location: Portsmouth, UK

The adrenaline-fuelled SailGP is returning to Portsmouth, bringing its F50 foiling catamarans and international spectacle to the Solent. For an unbeatable view of the racing, skip the shoreline crowds and get on the water.

Choose your experience:

  • Bareboat charter for confident skippers wanting their own private adventure

  • Skippered charter with a professional at the helm – ideal for corporate days or social groups

Drop anchor in a prime viewing spot and feel the buzz as these state-of-the-art boats fly past at up to 60 knots.

Cowes Week – The UK’s most iconic regatta

Dates: 26 July – 2 August 2025
Location: Cowes, Isle of Wight

Whether you’re racing or spectating, Cowes Week is an unmissable part of the sailing season. With over 700 boats competing, daily shore-side events, and buzzing parties, there’s no shortage of action.

Our Cowes Week options:

  • Bareboat Charter – Enter the regatta and race yourself or spectate from the sidelines
  • Enter as a team on a skippered race charter, with expert coaching and full support
  • Corporate racing packages also available

No experience? No problem. Our team will train and support you every step of the way.

The Ocean Race Europe – Watch world-class sailing from the water
