Sailing season is upon us!
Sitting watching snow falling just a couple of days ago and it was hard to believe that our sailing season is almost upon us. Our racing marks are once again bobbing in the bay and waiting to welcome us around various courses.
This year we have an exciting program, and are looking forward to working with both South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club (SCYC) and the Irish Sea Offshore Racing Association (ISORA) to bring variety and fun in the bay.

Dear members and friends,
Well, I would have liked to have wished you all a warm welcome to February, but it is in fact still quite cold! But nonetheless, the snowdrops are peeping out in quite a lot of places and that can only mean one thing……it’s time to get boats ready for and start planning the season!
In fact, some of our race fleet have already sneaked ahead of us to the warmer weather in the Caribbean, and I’m excited to say, we have three boats representing us in various different events to and over in the Caribbean, culminating in what will hopefully be a successful RORC Caribbean 600.
Andrew & Sam Hall and the Jackknife crew have had a busy start to the year with an excellent result in the RORC Transatlantic race in January, finishing a fantastic 1st in class and 3rd overall. Well done Team Jackknife! We were all glued to our YB apps and the local TV coverage, all the time and are very proud and pleased for you!
Faenol, having headed to the Caribbean in late 2025, got a bit of early Caribbean practice in The Round Barbados race, part of Barbados Sailing Week, and are now in Antigua awaiting the arrival of the rest of the fleet.
And Mojito departed early January, from Southampton, Antigua bound, by ship, followed this week by Team Mojito….hoping to be ready for Antigua race week to precede the RORC Caribbean 600.
The very best of luck to all the skippers and crews, we will be following your every tack! Sail hard, sail fast but most of all sail safe!
Back here in the UK, it’s great to see the boatyards springing to life with work parties, familiar faces appearing in the bar at weekends, and of course the six nations is being shown on the big screen! It’s a great time to remember that your membership needs renewing, as the membership uplifts for bar cards have now been turned off for those who haven’t renewed.
Please also remember to pay for any storage compound fees, as we have now started disposing of some of the older boats that haven’t been paid for…for a considerable time! Also, after the storms of the past couple of years, we are now requiring that dinghies left in there for any length of time, are left without rigs up, as these are more prone to being blown over and damaging other boats.
Calendars are still plentiful for collection and can be collected at Plas Heli, by arrangement, or we can arrange for them to be collected at some of the boatyards and marine traders.
Finally, a reminder of our AGM and our first social of the year, CHPSC Fitting Out Supper, on the 28th March. Last years was a lovely evening and a great opportunity to see and catch up with old and new faces after a long winter….hope to see you there!

Afloat: Sam & Andrew Hall of Pwllheli are “Sailors of the Month (Ocean Racing)” for January
- Manylion
- Trawiadau: 375
Son Sam and father Andrew Hall of Pwllheli won the ISORA 2025 Championship at the final hurdle in September with their Lombard 46 Pata Negra. But for the RORC East-West Transatlantic Race 2026, they put their hopes on their attractive vintage J/125 down-wind sled Jackknife, perhaps reckoning it was a case of horses for courses in hopefully brisk Trade Winds from aft of the beam. Whatever the reason, it paid off, as Jackknife in Antigua was twice on the podium, as Class Winner and Third Overall.
