The Albacores are excited to be returning to Pwllheli this year for the 2021 Nationals and the 2021 European Championships running from Sat 31st July until Friday 6th August.

The dual event promises to be a great week of sailing in stunning surroundings, however, the early discounted entry ends this Sunday 4th July so for those who can remember Fred Pontin's famous saying "Book Early!" As an added incentive anyone who gets their entry in by that deadline will be entered into a draw where the one lucky winner will receive a 50% refund of their entry fee!

Please note the following important points:

  • As well as being run as a Covid safe event, in the unlikely scenario that this event is cancelled due to Covid then all entry monies paid will be refunded.
  • Early entry at a reduced fee closes on Sunday 4th July.
  • Late entry ends on Sunday 25th July.
  • The Notice of Race and Entry Form can be found here.

UK National Championships goes to Nev Herbert and Lewis Fowler Well day 4 will go down as "fresh to frightening".

The sail out gave everyone the chance to practice their downwind techniques ready for the triangle-sausage courses. Posted on 2 Aug 2023
