Garmin will once again power the event’s meteorological services, delivering live and forecasted weather updates throughout the regatta. Competitors and visitors will benefit from accurate on-the-water conditions, while race management teams and course setters will receive advanced data to ensure optimal race planning across the challenging Solent waters.

Weather updates—including detailed forecasts and real-time wind data—will be available via the official Cowes Week app and the event website at www.cowesweek.co.uk

Garmin’s cutting-edge marine technology includes wind transducers and high-precision, glass-bonded displays engineered specifically for sailing and competitive racing. Complementing this, Navionics®, a Garmin brand, will provide enhanced digital charting, including temporary racing features tailored for Cowes Week competitors.

Bob Trimble, Chair of Cowes Week Ltd, said: “We are delighted to extend our relationship with Garmin for another year. Their expertise and dedication to marine innovation continue to enhance the regatta experience for everyone involved.”

Jon Oliver, Managing Director of Garmin UK and Ireland, added: “We’re thrilled to support Cowes Week once again. Sailing is in our DNA, and our marine electronics are designed to help sailors perform at their best. It’s an honour to be part of such a historic and celebrated event.”

Cowes Week 2025 promises another unforgettable chapter in this iconic British sailing tradition, with Garmin once more at the helm of its weather forecasting excellence.
