CHPSC News:
A race around the "Tremadog Triangle" took place on Saturday the 18th July in a gentle 6 kt Northerly breeze with clearing skys after a day of rain. The 5pm start due to tides worked well, and 6 boats came to the line. "Jackknife" won the race in IRC with "No idea" winning the NHC class. On Sunday two members completed laps of the Tremadog Triangle - "Theia" and "Sea Minx" who now heads the NHC leader board. "Jac Y Do" continues to lead the IRC fleet. "Theia" also completed a lap of the Commodores Challenge (St Tuds islands and Carreg Y Trai) and leads the NHC class with an excellent time of 1hr 48 mins corrected.
Planning for the "Stripped Down" Spinlock IRC Welsh National Championships continues with a "Zoom" meeting of the club racing committee held last Sunday evening. After confirming the proposed plans, the event was "re-booted" with a newsletter going out with all the details, and a much reduced price structure. There will be racing for all types of boat, including Cruisers, IRC Class 1 and 2 inshore and ISORA coastal courses, with race management considering the shorthanded crews when setting courses - expect less races per day and longer legs. The "stripped down" championship was published in the UK, Irish and European yachting press on Thursday. ( Yachts and Yachting, Afloat and EuroSail) - Full details at the event website here
CHIPAC (Clwb Hwylio Ieuenctid Pwllheli A'r Cylch) our youth sailing section have nearly finished their preparations and protocols following the lockdown, and start their 2020 activities next Friday, which is a credit to the hard work put in by Gwyndaf, Jane and James - and many more. We look forward to seeing young sailors training next week. 
Many club members have started their sailing journeys with CHIPAC and gone on to represent the club at regional, national and international level, including the Americas Cup! More information about CHIPAC can be found here

Club What’s On:
Saturday 25th July - Pwllheli Regatta - a fun race will be organised for both NHC and IRC boats with a start time of 10:45 for IRC boats and 11:00 for NHC Cruisers. The race will have long legs recognising many boats will be shorthanded, and race around Pwllheli racing marks, and possibly others marks aiming to finish around 13:30.
