COWES PORT HANDBOOK 2014 - 2015 Motorboats ........................ Cowes is an increasingly popular destination for motorboats and RIBs, which are welcomed all year round. The harbour is very accommodating with good mooring facilities available for all types of craft, together with ample fuel provisions. Rick Tomlinson Skippers of motorboats should be particularly aware of manoeuvrability issues in close quarters and the importance of not creating excessive wash. You might well be interested in exploring up the Medina River to visit the Folly Inn or perhaps as far as Newport Quay, so please take time to read the relevant sections of the Handbook to make sure you have an enjoyable and safe trip. RIBs are a very popular way to get around Cowes and at major events like Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week and the J.P.

A ‘must do’ event for the motorboat enthusiast is the Cowes – Torquay – Cowes offshore powerboat race on Sunday, 31 August.
