Cowes, UK - The King of Cowes, now in its second year, gives the overall winners of each of the 35 classes from the previous year's Skandia Cowes Week the opportunity to race each other on a level playing field of identical boats. With sailors competing for the top prize of a brand-new VW Touareg (for the helmsman), and winds gusting over 30 knots, competition at this year's event was, as you can imagine, quite fierce.
