North Wales Club Youth Racing Circuit at Port Dinorwic Sailing Club

by Ken Newing 28 Apr 2016 16:54 BST 17 April 2016

For those unfamiliar with Port Dinorwic - Y Felinheli there's a variety of activities to pursue when the wind gods dessert the place – 5 a side on the pitch by the car park, swings and slides on the park by the dinghy park, the dreaded computer games on WiFi or simply sun bathing in front of the club.

That was the first half at the first North Wales Club Youth Racing Circuit Open of the year held at PDSC.

Half time – early lunch.

The second half saw un-forecasted South Westerly building to Force 3 to 4 with blue skies thrown in and a moderate neap tide. 3 races completed, 32 entries, welcome sight of windsurfers and dinghies racing on the strait.
