With just 3 days to go to the start one of the biggest yachting events in the world, Cowes is bracing itself for possibly the busiest week of them all. With the sad news that Mainsail have gone into administration, the Isle of Wight Council is reported to be in 'advanced negotiations' with another company to run the Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week Parade Village with regard to providing the Parade entertainment and leisure facilities including the Sail for Gold Bar. The organisers press office says;  "It is hoped an agreement will be reached over the next 48 hours that will ensure the Parade remains an integral part of the Aberdeen Asset Management Cowes Week spectator and entertainment experience".
