Handover of the marks kit took place at Plas Menai, National Water Sports Centre  who is working closely with WNSA.

Gareth Roberts, Pwllheli Sailing Club Events Manager commented “This is  fantastic help for us to be able to run another Race Course in Tremadog Bay, and will make it easier to  run a combined 420 and 470 Europeans this coming summer. It’s great to see Olympic legacy equipment coming to Wales.”
