Part One of our highlights from the 2026 IRC Welsh National Championships⚓

We are proud to be the event’s main sponsor and it was wonderful to see such exceptional sailing talent here on the Llŷn Peninsula.

Take a look back at the finals, an afternoon of competitive sailing, great company, live music and delicious canapés at Plas Heli, Pwllheli - with more highlights still to come!

Thanks to everyone who joined us, making this such a memorable event. We couldn't have done it without every single one of you. ♥ See you same time next year.

Despite suffering a man overboard and having to retire from the last race of day one, Adam Kyffin and John Oliver's Eazi Tiger were already looking like strong contenders for the title with two bullets.

Thanks to our sponsor Gimblet Rock Holiday Park for another great pontoon party. After a lumpy forecast for the day with concerns that there could be too much wind for sailing, the skies cleared and wind relaxed and everyone was able to enjoy drinks and nibbles in the sun while packing up after sailing. 🍻🥂😎
