Isle of Wight Triplets retain Cowes Week title in thrilling U25 competition

Montgomery Estate Planning has proudly sponsored the Under 25 Trophy at Cowes Week 2023.

This event is one of the UK’s longest-running and most successful sporting gatherings.

Triplets triumph … again
The Montgomery Estate Planning Under 25 Trophy was awarded to the highest placed Under 25 Crew: Charlie, Harry and Tom White.

The triplets from Wootton, sailing in the Squib class, were particularly thrilled to have won again in ‘Kestrel’.

With great skill and determination against strong competition and weather conditions, the Isle of Wight-based triplets managed to retain their 2022 title, marking another first for the trophy winners.
