Cymraeg 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.
