Stephen Tudor and Mark Thompson's J70 Sgrech Bach lead the series after weekend 3 of the Summer Series. 

Last weekend saw them face their youngest opponents yet. Judging by the smiles on the faces of our little Pwllheli sailors, I think they all enjoyed it and we look forward to seeing them out there again soon.

There is still one more weekend left to challenge them in the series and new members are always welcome at Pwllheli Sailing Club, where there is something for everyone at any age.

Pwllheli were at the top of the board again in the ISORA K2Q race at the weekend. Starting Friday lunchtime, the 160nm race set a course from Dun Laoghaire to Cork.

Chris and Gareth will be sailing the penultimate (7th) leg of the event

It's been a busy year for the club so far and last weekend saw the return of Jackknife back from the transatlantic and their many adventures in Antigua and St Maarten. Crackajack returned from her adventures in the Isle of Man and Mojito were back from the south coast regattas.

Sadly, a testing Round Ireland race this year meant that some of fleet didn't manage to arrive home till just after the inaugural Pwllheli 10 hour race on Saturday.

Meanwhile, on the south coast, Impetuous, Mojito, Gelert, Day Dream believer and Blue Berret Pi, all took part in the Poole IRC European Championship. Some excellent sailing by Impetuous saw them
