As we write, the exciting new-look Cowes Port Handbook 2016-2017 is hot off the press and being distributed to numerous outlets around Cowes, East Cowes and other key Island locations.

The Cowes Port Handbook contains all the usual essential information, including important navigation tips, updates on the Cowes Breakwater and other developments, and of course Cowes tide times and a Solent Buoy Racer map. As part of this year’s bigger format, the Cowes Port Handbook also includes some interesting features on port apprenticeships, the amazing work of the Ellen MacArthur Cancer Trust, and the gruelling Solitaire du Figaro race, which will be visiting Cowes for the first time this year.

Horizon Publishing and True Angle Editorial have provided the design, production, and editorial content, with assistance from the Cowes Harbour Commission team. Special thanks are due to them, to all those who have contributed in some way to this year’s Port Handbook, and also to the businesses supporting the Handbook through advertising. 

We hope you enjoy the new publication and have a fantastic season in Cowes, ashore and afloat!
