Clwb Hwylio Pwllheli Sailing Club
The Heart of Welsh Sailing and a Community Amateur Sports Club
As many members know, we have been very lucky to have Stephen Tudor as Chair of the UK IRC committee, which has been a huge help in securing IRC events away from the Solent, and overseeing the introduction of the YTC rating scheme, to help provide a rating system at little or no cost for club racing.
Stephen has always supported those new to racing and cemented this ethos into the IRC committee.
on behalf of CHPSC thankyou for your hard work representing us

This week we're giving a big cheer to CHPSC youth sailor Tai Harrold, as he is representing the club in the RS Tera nationals taking place here in Pwllheli. Good luck Tai!!
16 year old Tai has been sailing with CHIPAC, the clubs youth section for 8 years, and is sailing in the Pro Tera fleet. There are over a 100 sailors entered in the national championships in two feets and make quite a stunning spectacle on the water! The event runs for three days of sailing and comprises 10-12 races, of standard and sprint courses.
CHIPAC lessons run every Friday evening, with a mixture of levels of sailors learning on the RYA pathway of sailing. A number of our past students have gone on to successfully racing and representing both Wales and the UK, whilst others have developed successful careers in the marine industry, working with organisations such as SailGP. We are currently fully subscribed but are taking names on our waiting list for the next intake.
As always we are very grateful to the club members that volunteer their time to help with both CHIPAC and our visiting events run smoothly.
Plas Heli has seen 330 sailors competing over the last 8 days with the RS Feva completing their 4 day event on Tuesday. and the RS Tera concluding on Saturday 30th May.

We are pleased to be able to share the following update:
'Pwllheli Harbour Dredging Update.
Gwynedd Council is preparing an application for a Marine Licence for dredging operations at Pwllheli Harbour.
If successful we could see a maintenance dredge in Spring 2027 and this to restore the required water depths within the harbour basin and access channels.
Dredged material would be deposited in the bay allowing for natural dispersion.
This would be the basis for regular annual maintenance dredging to provide long-term, sustainable marina and harbour management.'
