East Cowes Beach
East Cowes is a world famous yachting town, home to some of UKs premieres sailing clubs. However, the unsightly beaches and dreary atmosphere fail to give Cowes Beach the recognition and reputation it deserves. From the dilapidated shops and restaurants along the coast, to the polluted ocean water and unkempt shoreline, East Cowes is in dire need of saving! Please help us make East Cowes into the striking beach town it should be.

Video: Volvo Ocean 65s at Round Britain and Ireland Race - by Yachtfernsehen.com
Cowes, 10th August: Five Volvo Ocean 65s go head to head in Round Britain and Ireland Race. Video powered by
Five Volvo Ocean Race 2014-15 will line up against each other in a dress rehearsal of the event proper when they compete in the Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race on Sunday.
The race, course distance 1802 nm, is expect to take at least five days to complete depending on conditions and will give a form guide for Team SCA, Dongfeng Racing Team, Abu Dhabi Ocean Racing, Team Alvimedica and Iker Martínez’s Spanish crew ahead of the Volvo Ocean Race start on October 4 in Alicante, Spain.
Knut Frostad, CEO, Volvo Ocean Race: “This is the first time we will see a larger fleet together that we can really track and follow.
We will see a result now over the next days around Britain, and then all of them will go back to their team bases and they will work very hard on learning from those days, and then we will see how they twist that into their advantage when they come back in October, in Alicante.”
The Sevenstar Round Britain and Ireland Race has a rich history, starting in 1976. The 2014 race will be the 8th edition. While other ocean races are longer, racing 1,800 miles around a coastline notorious for highly changeable weather and wicked tides and currents make the race incredibly challenging. That makes it the ideal preparation for the Volvo Ocean Race teams. The 2014 entries include a wide variety of yachts and sailors of different classes and levels, all competing against the Volvo Ocean Race crews in their one-design Volvo Ocean 65s.
The fleet will set off down the Solent to the east and turn west around the south side of the Isle of Wight. After that the course is simple: leave Ireland and Great Britain to starboard all the way to the northern tip of the Shetland Isles, a point known as Outer Stack just north of Muckle Flugga, then return down the eastern side of the UK back to where the race started in Cowes, a non-stop 1800 mile race. The fastest yachts may complete the course in under a week. For the slower yachts, nearly two weeks is more likely.
Knut Frostad, CEO, Volvo Ocean Race: “This is the promo, this is the test of our real race, because this is the first time we will see a larger fleet together that we can really track and follow. So we had one small race in the Canaries with three boats. Now we have 5 boats participating in the Round Britain race, and I think we have to go back to the 80s to find an event before the start of this race where that many boats actually met on the same start line. We will see a result now over the next days around Britain, and then all of them will go back to their team bases and they will work very hard on learning from those days, and then we will see how they twist that into their advantage when they come back in October, in Alicante.”
The next edition of the Volvo Ocean Race will start on October 4, 2014, day of the first In-Port Race in Alicante, Spain, and finish with one last In-Port Race on June 27, 2015 in Gothenburg, the Swedish home of Volvo.

Newport is a civil parish and the county town of the Isle of Wight, an island off the south coast of England, in the United Kingdom. Newport is situated slightly to the north of the centre of the Island, at the head of the navigable section of the River Medina, which flows northward to Cowes and the Solent, and on which the town has a quay.
Newport since the 1960s has acquired new shopping facilities, a pedestrianised central square, and through road traffic redirected off many of the narrow streets. Newport Quay has been redeveloped with art galleries such as the Quay Arts Centre and new flats converted from old warehouses. The Queen Victoria Memorial was designed by local architect Percy Stone (1856–1934).
Newport is the principal town of the Isle of Wight. Transport connections link all major towns to Newport; it is the main shopping centre and location for public services on the Island. The main A3020 and A3054 roads converge as Medina Way between the busy roundabouts at Coppins Bridge and St Mary's Hospital.
Newport railway station was the hub of the Island's rail network until the mid-20th century, but it closed in 1966 and the site is now occupied by the A3020 Medina Way dual carriageway. The River Medina runs through Newport; north of its confluence with the Lukely Brook at the town's quay it becomes a navigable tidal estuary.
Seaclose Park in Newport, on the east bank of the River Medina, has since 2002 been the location for the revived Isle of Wight Music Festival, held annually. Newport is home to the Postal Museum, possibly the largest private collection of vintage postal equipment and post boxes in the world
Newport bus station is the town's central bus terminus, with all routes in the town serving it. Newport is the hub of the Southern Vectis network, with routes from across the Island terminating there. Wightbus also operate services.

Places to see in ( Isle of Wight - UK )
The Isle of Wight is a county and the largest and second-most populous island in England. It is located in the English Channel, about 4 miles off the coast of Hampshire, separated by the Solent. Isle of Wight has resorts that have been holiday destinations since Victorian times, and Isle of Wight is known for its mild climate, coastal scenery, and verdant landscape of fields, downland and chines.
The Isle of Wight has been home to the poets Swinburne and Tennyson and to Queen Victoria, who built her much-loved summer residence and final home Osborne House at East Cowes. Isle of Wight has a maritime and industrial tradition including boat building, sail making, the manufacture of flying boats, the hovercraft, and Britain's space rockets. The island hosts annual music festivals including the Isle of Wight Festival, which, in 1970, was the largest rock music event ever held. Isle of Wight has well-conserved wildlife and some of the richest cliffs and quarries for dinosaur fossils in Europe.
The Isle of Wight was owned by a Norman family until 1293 and was earlier a kingdom in its own right. The Isle of Wight has played an important part in the defence of the ports of Southampton and Portsmouth, and been near the front-line of conflicts through the ages, including the Spanish Armada and the Battle of Britain. Rural for most of its history, its Victorian fashionability and the growing affordability of holidays led to significant urban development during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Isle of Wight was part of Hampshire until 1890 when it became its own administrative county, but continued to share the Lord Lieutenant until 1974 when it became a ceremonial county. Apart from a shared police force, there is now no administrative link with Hampshire, although a combined local authority with Portsmouth and Southampton is being considered. Until 1995 the Isle of Wight had a governor.
The quickest public transport link to the mainland is the hovercraft from Ryde to Southsea, while three ferry and two catamaran services cross the Solent to Southampton, Lymington and Portsmouth. The Isle of Wight is situated between the Solent and the English Channel, is roughly rhomboid in shape, and covers an area of 150 sq mi (380 km2). Slightly more than half, mainly in the west, is designated as the Isle of Wight Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty. The island has 100 sq mi (258 km2) of farmland, 20 sq mi (52 km2) of developed areas, and 57 miles (92 km) of coastline. Its landscapes are diverse, leading to its oft-quoted description as England in miniature.
Main towns in ( Isle of Wight - UK ) are :
Newport is the centrally located county town, with a population of about 25,000 and the island's main shopping area. Located next to the River Medina, Newport Quay was a busy port until the mid-19th century.
Ryde, the largest town with a population of about 30,000, is in the northeast. It is Victorian with the oldest seaside pier in England and miles of sandy and pebble beaches.
Cowes hosts the annual Cowes Week and is an international sailing centre.
East Cowes is famous for Osborne House, Norris Castle and as the home from 1929 to 1964 of Saunders-Roe, the historic aircraft, flying boat, rocket and hovercraft company.
Sandown is a popular seaside resort. It is home to the Isle of Wight Zoo, the Dinosaur Isle geological museum and one of the island's two 18-hole golf courses.
Shanklin, just south of Sandown, attracts tourists with its high summer sunshine levels, sandy beaches, Shanklin Chine and the old village.
Ventnor, built on the steep slopes of St Boniface Down on the south coast of the island, leads down to a picturesque bay that attracts many tourists. Ventnor Haven is a small harbour.

Festival of the Sea 2017
Surrounded by its beauty, serenity and majesty, the Isle of Wight can’t help but be synonymous with the sea. We travel across it, we watch its moods to gauge sailing conditions, we feast on its rich harvest, we paddle in the shallows and we celebrate the fact that it infiltrates almost every aspect of Island life. And we share our love of all things maritime through the annual Isle of Wight Festival of the Sea.
The 2017 Isle of Wight Festival of the Sea (23rd June to 9th July) continues and celebrates the Island’s connection with the water that laps our shores.
While simply exploring our 57 miles of coastline, punctuated with rugged rockpool filled beaches, golden sand covered coves and tranquil sailing ports, is enough to show off the beauty of the sea surrounding the Island, we like to rejoice in in our maritime existence as we set sail into the summer.
Celebrate with us as we welcome a pirate invasion (yes really me hearties!), sail round the Isle of Wight or just tuck into seafood galore at one of our many restaurants selling locally sourced produce.
Whether you’re a sailor, a keen watcher or a bit of both, we have lots on offer. The Round the Island Race is on 1 July, and attracts around 1,500 boats and 12,000 sailors. That’s a whole lot of yachts to follow as they race around the Island, starting and finishing in Cowes.
A bit later on, from 6 to 13 July you can catch the Panerai British Classic Week. Also starting in Cowes (it’s world famous for a reason!), it’s the only UK regatta as part of the Classic Yachts Challenge series and comes complete with a rich social calendar.
The Isle of Wight also welcomes the 69th edition of the historic Edinburgh Cup to Cowes, hosted by the Island Sailing Club, from 9th to 15th of July.
For all the details go to visitisleofwight.co.uk and join us as we celebrate on the Island just off the south coast of England.
