Cowes Week Ltd has announced that Garmin® has renewed for a further year as the Official Weather Forecast Sponsor for Cowes Week 2025.
Garmin will once again support the event’s official meteorology service throughout the Regatta, providing competitors and visitors with regular updates on the current and expected conditions on the water. More detailed real-time weather information will also be supplied to the race management teams and course setters, enabling them to optimise race planning for the varying conditions across the Solent. Summary and detailed forecasts, together with live wind data, will be available through the official Cowes Week App and on the website at www.cowesweek.co.uk.
Garmin provides wind transducers and a variety of high-precision glass-bonded instrument displays specifically for sailing and racing. Additionally, Navionics®, a Garmin brand, will enhance the racing experience by incorporating temporary chart features for racing at Cowes Week.
Commenting on the sponsorship Bob Trimble, Chair of Cowes Week Limited said: “We are delighted to extend our relationship with Garmin for another year. Their expertise in marine technology and commitment to innovation make them an invaluable partner for our regatta. We look forward to working together again to enhance the experience for Cowes Week competitors.”
Jon Oliver, Managing Director of Garmin UK and Ireland said: “We’re excited to support Cowes Week, one of the UK’s longest running and well-known sporting events. Sailing is in our blood and Garmin marine electronics are built with sailing-specific features to help boat performance. We are proud to play our part in this vibrant and esteemed regatta.”
