Well done to Chris Jones and Gareth Jones Davis, who competed in the two handed Marina militare nastro rosa il Giro d'Italia 2026.

All Smiles on the Summer Series

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.
Great Offshore results for Pwllheli Sailing Club over the weekend

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. The race had many challenges, starting with light winds and although more wind could be found offshore, tide advantages could be found inshore. Wind shifts around Bray head reset the race in a game of snakes and ladders and any lead gained out of Dublin bay was diminished. Perseverance paid off, along with determination in a challenging sea state, upwind the whole 160nm, even after turning the corner at Tuskar lighthouse.

Pwllheli Sailing Club’s Pata Negra (Andrew&Sam Hall) took line honours on Saturday afternoon but after sailing a more conservative 171nm, fellow club members Peter Dunlop and Vicky Cox and Mojito, took the overall win on handicap.

Also from Pwllheli Sailing Club, Geoff and Hannah Dutton-Kelly on First 40.7 Crackajack, showed tremendous determination, sticking it out to the bitter end for valuable series points. Other competitors were retiring but they continued to the end despite being short handed in the challenging race.

Good luck to two of our young sailors Chris Jones and Gareth Jones Davis who are competing in leg 7 of the Giro d'Italia a Vela 2026, a two handed test of endurance and sailing skills on the Beneteau Figaro 3s.
The 1,250-nautical-mile event circumnavigates the Italian Peninsula in stages from Venice, stopping in Cattolica, Vieste, Taranto, Siracusa, Tropea, Naples, and Portoferraio, before finishing in Genoa.
Chris and Gareth will be sailing the penultimate (7th) leg of the event from Naples to Portoferraio, for team Verein Seglerhaus am Wannsee (boat 05), starting Saturday 4th July.
Meanwhile, Crackajack, Mojito, and Pata Negra are all heading to Dun Laoghaire for the Kingstown to Queenstown race (K2Q) starting tomorrow. As always, you can track their progress on the ISORA yellow brick tracker.
We wish all our sailors safe sailing and look forward to welcoming them back in the bay for some summer sailing and, of course, the Welsh IRC championships - Get your entries in now!
