The World's oldest and largest sailing regatta is celebrating its 180th anniversary this year and Skandia Cowes Week might also be celebrating another record entry year in 2006. Over the course of the weekend entries topped 1,000 and currently stand at 1,012.
Entries are still coming in online and via snail mail at a rate of 8-10 a day, and organisers Cowes Combined Clubs reckon they could still beat last year's final entry figure of 1,039.
