Last week saw the 32 class winners from Skandia Cowes Week 2007 being drawn at random along with the Laser SB3 owners, to set the pairings for Friday 1 August, that will determine which class winning helm will be crowned Volkswagen Touareg King of Cowes, 2008.

LaserPerformance Europe Ltd and Volkswagen Touareg teamed up in 2007 to hold the inaugural Volkswagen Touareg King Of Cowes at Skandia Cowes Week, with Alistair Richardson walking away with the title and a brand new Volkswagen Touareg. The excitement surrounding this invitation-only sailing event is building fast, with some big prizes and pride at stake.

The teams for the 2nd Volkswagen Touareg King Of Cowes are listed below:
