It is with great sadness we report the passing of Mike Raw.
Mike Raw, from Macclesfield, has had a boat on the Llyn Peninsula for many years, and one of the first to take a berth in the marina after its construction.
Mike was always the heart and soul of many parties at both the Sailing Club and in the Marina. Mike took a keen interest in all water sports, including yacht racing on J35 Banzai, and cruising on his series of “Raw Deal” motor-boats, and latterly Jet Skiing.
Mike always took time to pass on his boat handling skills to new owners and berth-holders and was a great friend to many of us.
Mike leaves behind his wife Caron, son James and daughter Emily, and a big void in all our lifes.

It is with great regret that we inform you that the RYA Youth Championships 2020 has been postponed.
Following the latest Government advice regarding the coronavirus pandemic, the 2020 RYA Youth National Championships is postponed. The prestigious regatta, the UK's premier youth racing event, was due to take place from April 3 to 10 and hosted at The Welsh National Sailing Academy and Event Centre with assistance from CHPSC and RYA Cymru Wales.Around 750 young people and adults from all over the UK were expected to be on site.
However, on Monday evening the Government advised against mass gatherings, to minimise social contact and avoid non-essential travel to curb the spread of the virus.In light of this all non-essential RYA Racing activity has been suspended until April 30 in the first instance when the situation will be reviewed.It will be the first time since the Youth Nationals began in 1978 that the event has not taken place as planned.Our intention along with RYA and partners will be to run the event later in the year and we will now work with the youth classes to deliver a new plan. More details on this will be announced in due course.
‘Everyone in CHPSC, Plas Heli, The Welsh National Sailing Academy and Event Centre, RYA Cymru Wales and Gwynedd Council are extremely disappointed that this prestigious event has been postponed, but all agree and respect the decision taken in what is extremely difficult times, we fully appreciate the need to keep everyone safe. We will be working closely with RYA to host a Championship later in the year and we hope to see you all here at the next event.’

Dear Member, Friends and Guests
In line with the latest initiatives to minimize the spread of Covid 19 we as a Club are determined to play our part to minimize the spread of this virus.
We will be following the guidance of our Governing Body, RYA Cymru Wales, for sailing clubs and sailors and also the instruction of Welsh Government and all appropriate Health Authorities.
In that context, from today we will be:
- Providing Hand sanitizers, tissues, and other cleansers adjacent to Club entrances, upstairs and downstairs.
- We will provide for dining tables to be 1m apart, as much as practicable. We will commence using the Main dining room for lunches and other functions which previously might have been in the bar.
- We are significantly increasing the cleaning regime in Plas Heli particularly on exposed surfaces.
We will continue to scenario plan as best we can – hoping for the best but considering the worst – and will endeavour to keep you fully informed as we navigate this serious challenge.
Plas Heli intends to remain operational, within the guidelines and best practise as advised by the Health Authorities in the first instance.
The bar will operate normal hours and it is intended to have Plas Heli pleasant, safe, environment to dine and socialize withing the latest guidelines.
It is intended that sailing activities will be continued, generally as normal.
Please play your part in this by adhering to the advice given on hand washing and cleanliness.
