AKBW 2012
Welcome to the Abersoch Keelboat Week Website 2012. As always the waters of Cardigan Bay with host Keelboat Week, and in true fashion 2012 promises to be better again. Following suggestions asked of Keelboat week entrants, we are planning several improvements into the format of the week in order to provide a truely great week of sailing and social for the whole family.
Following on from the success of the Sigma 33's over the last few years, and as the home fleet grows, we will once again be offering Sigma 33 Class starts during the Week. Already we have further interest that could swell numbers further.
Keelboat Week has been enjoying increased entries in recent years, with standards well up with racing keen and well organised. SCYC enjoys a reputation for excellent race organisation and Cardigan Bay has to be one of the best yachting venues in the UK.
Visiting yachts can be assured of a warm welcome. Visitors can choose between a marina berth at Hafan Pwllheli - Pwllheli Marina Complex or can have a visitors mooring in the sheltered waters off South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club. The Clubs full facilities are open to visiting yachtsmen and their families.
The venue offers pristine sailing waters with no commercial traffic. Tides, such as they are, are fair, local knowledge will not play a part in this Regatta. For families left ashore, the beaches offer clean sand with warm and clear waters. On calm days you may even see dolphins playing close offshore.
