Congratulations to Charlie South, Noble Marine RS300 National Champion 2025! After a tough two days racing at South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club, the weather blew up as forecast and racing was abandoned for day three.
Charlie led from the outset with a win in race 1, and added a further 4 bullets to establish a strong 5 point lead by the end of day 2.
Y Felinheli sailors Paul Watson and Peter Mackin took 2nd and 3rd places respectively.
Fantastic photos, by Phill Boyd, Outwest Images sum up the conditions perfectly.
