Autism On The Water joins Cowes Week as one of the Official Charities

Cowes Week Limited is delighted to welcome Autism on the Water as one of the Official Charities for the 2025 edition of the Regatta. They will be joining the RNLI who became an official charity partner in 2024.

Founded in 2016, Autism on the Water (AOTW) is a charity with locations in Scotland and the South Coast of England. AOTW is the only known charity in the UK that provides sailing and motorboating opportunities to people of all ages on the autistic spectrum plus their families to experience a potentially life-changing experience in a safe, fun and stress-free environment.
AOTW have been regular competitors at the regatta in recent years and will be racing their Impala 28 with guests and crew throughout the week in 2025. Shoreside activities are also planned, and more details will be available closer to the regatta.

Bob Trimble, Chairman of Cowes Week Ltd and Cowes Combined Clubs commented "We're delighted to have Autism on the Water as one of our official charities this year. We have been aware of the great work that they do as an entirely volunteer run organisation and we fully support the charity's aims and initiatives. We look forward to helping them take their fundraising further through the 2025 regatta."

Murray MacDonald, Founder and Director of Autism on the Water said: "It is fantastic news that Autism on the Water has been appointed as an official charity of Cowes Week for 2025! It is a privilege to be supported by such an iconic British sailing event as Cowes Week. This is a great opportunity for the sailing community and wider public to see and learn about what we do whilst being part of the biggest town regatta in the world. Alongside competing at the regatta this year, we will also be running many free sailing and motorboating trips and we're planning some surprises too! AOTW are avid fans of Cowes Week, both on and off the water, and we're looking forward to a week of exciting racing and shoreside fundraising activities."
