LOCAL sailors are testing their skills against the world’s best as hundreds of youngsters descended on Pwllheli this week for the 2018 Volvo Gill British National and Open Championships.

Pictured here are members of the Pwllheli and District Youth Sailing Club who are taking part in the competition, being held at Plas Heli, Welsh Sailing Academy, until Friday.

Pictured are, back row, left to right: Gareth Jones-Davies, Ffion Jones-Davies (brother and sister from Abererch) and Iago Ll?n Evans (Llanbedrog); and in the front are Alffie Thomas (Pwllheli) and Archie William Allen (Penrhos).
