Entry to Abersoch Dinghy Week is open and there's now less than two weeks to go before the early bird discount finishes, on 1st June.
After a two-year gap as a result of Covid-19, South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club (SCYC) is looking forward to a momentous return for Abersoch Dinghy Week this July as we celebrate Dinghy Week's 50th anniversary!
Registration is Saturday 23rd July with racing from Sunday 24th till Friday 29th. This year we are introducing a new modern racing format with committee boat starts, and two shorter races per day taking advantage of the fabulous waters of Cardigan Bay. The new format will still allow competitors to enjoy time on the beach or elsewhere on the Llyn Peninsula with their families/friends. We are also planning to run the Rookies (coached regatta fleet for U16s new to racing) again after its success in 2019.
We are working on a full programme of social events, with a celebratory meal in the Cove on the Thursday evening, daily prize-givings, and a beach BBQ (fingers crossed for the weather!) and more.... Competitors can look forward to the warmest hospitality at the Club as we welcome you all back.
To add some excitement to the event and to seek out some history SCYC is running a competition to see who can come to the week bringing with them the oldest piece (dated of course) of dinghy week apparel.
We are producing complimentary 50th anniversary t-shirts for competitors. There will be plenty of prizes for the winners and a lot of fun on the way. The week should have a real buzz about it as we celebrate the evolution of this special event.
Sponsors are Orca Bay, Abersoch Boatyard, Pelle P, Gill and English Braids.
With Orca Bay launching their new 'Abersoch' deck shoe this summer, which of you will be lucky winners of a pair of these iconic shoes??
