The Introduction of the 2.4mR to South Wales

My name is Paul Gomm and I live north of Swansea in Wales. I was recently approached by Kate Hedley to write an article about how I am trying to influence the introduction of 2.4mR’s into the South Wales.

 The first venue to gain a small yet growing fleet is at Llangorse Sailing Club located a few miles to the east of Brecon in the Brecon Beacons. This is my home sailing club and as the club has had a large fleet of Flying Fifteen it has excellent launching and recovery facilities for keel boats.

If interest in sailing a 2.4mR in the local area please feel free to contact me via This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

Are you sailing a 2.4mR?

The fleet around the country is growing and we would very much like to hear from any new locations which are encouraging folks to sail a 2.4mR. Send me a write up on your sailing club, it's facilities and location and I'll publish it here for all to read. I can also add it to the list of sailing clubs to help grow the fleets.

 Antwerp City Cup 2018

It was a great season finale. Varying winds, gave all a chance to shine. The GBR sailors turned in very good overall results. We sailed the event in memory and celebration of Eric, who we will all miss greatly.

Dutch Nationals 2018

Congratulations to Meg on her win in Amsterdam. We had some lovely Sailing and I might of even had a win... if only I’ d read the race instructions properly... The social side was fun too. A group of us ventured into the restaurant area of downtown Amsterdam and had a lovely meal out. We explored the delights of Amsterdam public transport... for wheels users the Metro wins over the tram.. Thanks to Dirk and the  whole team at VW De Kroenen for putting on a great event and keeping fed and watered (although there was considerable beer and wine too).
