Events Volunteers Welcomed at Plas Heli

Taking part in an event, afloat or ashore, can be very rewarding and enjoyable  please contact us if you would like to join our volunteer team.

Plas Heli and Clwb Hwylio Pwllheli Sailing Club are very proud of their record of running sailing events in Pwllheli since the 1960's.

These events have been of the highest quality and sailed in the World acclaimed sailing waters of Cardigan Bay which provides near perfect sailing conditions with lack of commercial shipping, no strong tidal flows and ‘clean’ prevailing wind from the south-west. The racing arena is only minutes from the safe harbour, the Hafan marina or from the Plas Heli pontoon berths.

It is these superb qualities, and the club volunteers, that makes the process of organising events so much easier and provides the potential for the racing to be the best in the UK!

The hosting of events in Pwllheli since 2015 has been transferred to Plas Heli, the operating company of The Welsh National Sailing Academy and Events Centre, which is the Premier Sailing Event Centre In Wales, and a Community Enterprise and a not for profit distribution company where all surpluses are reinvested in the the facilities.

The events at Plas Heli is impressive every year and we again call for your support by volunteering.

DSCN0427Volunteers are required for the vast amount of work involved in running these sailing events.  The tasks and duties will include the following:

  • Safety boat helm and crews

  • Committee boat and mother boat helpers

  • Shore side and Office assistance

  • Beach masters

  • Traffic duties

We would be delighted to hear from anyone who could provide assistance, in any way, during these events. This support can be for a day, weekend or whole week Championship.

Experience and qualifications are not essential as we can now provide the necessary training. Further training courses will be arranged and expressions of interest in these courses can be sent to  or to


Please contact us if you wish to enrole as a volunteer..

All of our events require a dedicated team of volunteers in order to run smoothly.

Would you like to join us?

We are also happy to sign Millennium Volunteer forms or any other references.
