Youth Sailing CHIPAC
Youth Sailing – CHIPAC our youth section offers local youngsters the opportunity to learn to sail and a chance to sail at club level. Youngsters are supported on the competitive pathway to National Junior class events with the chance of being selected to the Welsh and GBR National Sailing Squads. We are an 'On-Board' Club and a RYA registered training centre.
Cruising
Cruising – Pwllheli is a great base to explore the spectacular coastline of Cardigan Bay, the numerous and interesting anchorages or, for the more adventurous, cruising the Irish Sea and beyond. The new pontoons are available for members, visitors and flotillas. The active cruising section regularly organises flotilla style cruises for sail and power boats.
Racing
Racing – The Club keel boat racing offers something for everybody; novices to championship winners. There is always an emphasis on competitive fun with round the cans racing, long bay races, Regatta racing and the IRC Welsh National Championship.
Events
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.
Clwb Hwylio Pwllheli Sailing Club is adjacent to the new pontoons, the beach, Hafan Marina, chandleries and marine businesses on the Glan Don Peninsula. Pwllheli the market town for the Llyn Peninsula with boutique shops, café restaurants and bars, and of course the weekly Wednesday market, is also within walking distance.
The safe harbour provides easy access to the superb sailing waters recognised as probablly the best in the U.K. In Cardigan Bay the tidal streams are weak, winds are stable and the scenery is superb. Snowdon and the Welsh mountains providing a magnificent backdrop for any water sport.
Our membership numbers are growing and we are always keen to attract new members. For further details please contact us by
