Olympic Quality Sailing

Very few places can offer the sailing facilities available in the Llyn Peninsula. The area was recently nominated as the olympic sailing area as part of the Manchester 2007 bid. The quality of sailing in the area is very high indeed with a backdrop of breathtaking scenery.









The sailing waters around Pwllheli are amongst the best in the U.K. In Cardigan Bay tidal streams are weak, winds are stable and the scenery is superb. Snowdon and the Welsh mountains providing a magnificent backdrop for any water sport. Sailing Events which have been held in Cardigan Bay include the National BT Match-racing Finals, the Optimist Nationals, Firefly Nationals, Hornet Nationals and the J24 World and European Championships, GP14's Nationals, Topper Nationals, Scorpions Nationals, Laser 2 Worlds, Osprey Nationals, Flying 15's Nationals, RS Championship, One Ton Cup/ IC45 Worlds, 1720's Europeans As a cruising base Pwllheli provides a secure harbour, accessible in all weathers and most states of the tide. The West Coast of Ireland can be reached in less than 12 hours sailing, and Abersoch, PorthMadog, Barmouth, Aberdovey, Aberystwyth and New Quay can be reached within a few hours.
