The last CYRC of the year was held at Gresford SC on Saturday 4th October. 6 CHIPAC sailors made the journey and were richly rewarded by a very competitive days racing. Gresford SC or the Flash as it is known locally is the roughly twice the size of the dinghy parks in Pwllheli but does makes sailing a true spectator sport. The wind shifts were about 90 degrees and over the race course the wind varied from 25 knots to 2 knots - a truly novel sailing experience.
The prizegiving ceremony for the year which has included events in Penamenamawr , Traethcoch ,and Pwllheli were held at the end of the day in Gresford. For those who travelled from Pwllheli all were awarded prizes. The final results were
-
Chloe Butterworth 1st Optimist training fleet
-
Christopher Jones 3rd Optimist training fleet
-
Indeg Owen 1st Optimist Silver fleet
-
Gethin Owen 1st Optimist Gold fleet
-
Josh Davies 1st Topper Silver Fleet
-
William Filby 1st General Handicap fleet.
A fanatstic achievement for sailors and a true reflection of the quality of sailors coming through the system here at Pwllheli sailing club.
