Well, what a week!! One of the worst and best weeks of my life. The worst because one of my closest friend's mum suddenly lost her fight against cancer at the age of 40. One of the best because The Welsh National Radial Squad consisting of 10 sailors all got into the Gold fleet of 55 of the top Youths in the country. There where 110 competitors.Our eleventh squad member Freddie was abroad skiing. The sun was shining and the first two days were windy and gusty. We had to sail 3 miles to get to the race course and more importantly 3 miles back after 3 hard races in about 20-24 knots gusting over 30. It was a team effort with Bleddyn Mon leading the competition until the final days racing when light shifty winds pushed his position to 4th. Another 6 members of the Welsh Squad who normaly sail 4.7 lasers did extremely well in their first Radial competition especially in the heavy winds. David Pain was first in the Silver fleet . Personally I was very pleased with my position although I came 54th in Gold, I was 10th girl overall and managed in individual races to beat older sailors in the Gold fleet that I have always aspired to sail against. In one race I was first girl. Another satisfying result was that I succeeded to beat my 3 friends who had been chosen ahead of me for GBR Transitional Squad at Christmas. All 3 of them were in Silver fleet. Each Gold fleet sailor had GPS trackers on their boats that transmitted the races live to large screens at the club and on the internet. You can still view the races on the RYA sites event website under tracking. Siwan and I had a great time socialising with our sailing friends. We look forward to seeing them again next week at Hayling Island for the Radial European Qualifier. Love Aimee |

We are pleased to announce the publication of the CHIPAC 2009 year book. A printed copy is available in the club.
This magazine highlights some of the successes and developments that have happened in CHIPAC in 2009.
CHIPAC has expanded greatly since it started in 1994 and we now have many young local sailors competing in international events, but possibly more important taking advantage of the fantastic sailing opportunities available at Pwllheli Sailing Club.
Looking forward to 2010 we will undoubtedly be helping more children to sail as a number of people have volunteered to become dinghy instructors.

Some of the CHIPAC assistant dinghy instructors, Bryn, James, Clive and Nick B braved the cold 
again this weekend with Gareth and Richard instructing in readiness for their D/I pre-assessment.
It was made all the more frustrating with less than 3 knots struggling to power up the 4.7, Radial and toppers..
Aimee and Siwan were in Pwllheli as well with the Welsh National Laser Radial and 4.7 squad training, in preparation for the start of new race qualifying season 8 weeks away....
The squaddies werent going any faster than the new D/Is so there is hope for them yet ( The D/Is not the Squaddies !!!).
They had a Skandia GB Team sailor coaching with them dressed all in white...we havent found who it was yet but we are calling him the ' STIG'
