Events – we have successfully organising prestigious National and International sailing events for many years and these events have established Pwllheli as a venue of choice for many classes and associations. We were chosen as the official London Olympic Training Camp for Sailing, the only one in Wales. These events bring thousands of sailors to Pwllheli from all over the world and a substantial boost the local economy. We continue to host these events which are organised and run by Plas Heli the community enterprise company responsible for the Welsh National Sailing Academy and Events Centre.
