Grace Murray
Head of Partnerships & Brand at North Sails Cowes Week
Grace Murray joined Cowes Week in late 2025 ahead of its 200th anniversary. One of the world’s oldest and largest sailing regattas, North Sails Cowes Week is a major fixture in the British sporting calendar, attracting thousands of professional and amateur sailors from around the world as well as tens of thousands of spectators.
With a background in marketing and PR, Grace left her career in London to sail competitively, racing inshore and offshore across the Caribbean, Mediterranean and UK circuits. Her international racing experience brings a valuable competitor’s perspective to the regatta’s commercial and strategic development.
Having played a pivotal role in reinvigorating the regatta and securing North Sails as title sponsor, Grace is focused on growing the event’s profile, broadening its appeal, and using the platform to raise sailing’s visibility and appeal within British sport.
