Cowes Week to come to a close with firework finale
It's after a week of yacht racing on the island
Cowes Week's set to come to a spectacular close with a firework finale today to celebrate its 200th year.
It's after a week of world-famous yacht racing which ranged from Olympic-class to first-time sailors.
Grace Murray's one of the organisers of the event - she's telling us why the event is so iconic.
She said: "It's just so different to the other regattas.
"It's huge, it's vast, it's fun and people love it!
"The community loves it, the sailors love it, the volunteers and spectators love it, and I don't think there's a regatta of this scale and the kind of breadth of people who come and enjoy it."
She's telling us more about how the event's changed over the years.
Ms Murray added: "Every year, apart from the World Wars and COVID, there has been a Cowes Week.
"We've just been keeping update with technology and we've got our own app.
"Cowes Week is very much at the forefront of sort of technological advancements in racing.
"The boats have changed and we've got lots of old boats here, but we've also got lots of the new performance boats.
"Everything's getting lighter and quicker, and we're evolving with the times!"
