“From a sailing point of view, Pwllheli provides the best sailing water in Britain . Clean wind in the prevailing South Westerly makes it the perfect venue. The facilities speak for themselves. The club is incredibly supportive of top sailors always prepared to go the extra mile. The PSC has a friendly atmosphere and is undoubtedly the premier sailing club in the country”
