Welcome to the Cowes UK fleet of the International Etchells Class
More than 50 years of heritage supporting a broad spectrum of corinthian, youth and Category 3 (Pro) teams has given an opportunity to race in Cowes in one of the most exciting one-design fleets in the world. Many America’s cup sailors have been part of the fleet and the enthusiasm within the class still generates a world championships every year. In both 2016 and 2022 the World Championships were held in Cowes with great success, and we invite you to join us in the journey to the next Worlds to be held here in 2028 with the Royal Yacht Squadron.
