Please find the NOR for the Llangorse Open meeting on 6th/7th April 2019 here

The club have organised for bacon rolls on arrival and baked potatoes for lunch on both days.

The Black Cock  at Llanfihangel Talyllyn is really good for the evening meal, It is a 5 minute drive from the club and does really good food. 

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.

THE WAY IT STARTED
By Peter Norlin / 2.4 Designer Sweden

In August 1979, I was sitting on the deck. We were sailing Admirals cup in Cowes, when a very small boat was sailing around the moorings of the Cowes Week racing yachts. This was the first time anyone had seen such a little boat. The helmsman a young German guy was sitting inside the boat, and only the head was seen in the cockpit. He was the founder of this type of boat.

 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.
