2023 Events Calendar:

January 1st, 2023: Abersoch RNLI New Year's Dip

Important Info For Taking Part In Abersoch RNLI New Year’s Day Dip...

Abersoch RNLI is delighted to be able to hold the popular New Year’s Day Dip again in 2023. However, before giving permission for this event to proceed, RNLI Headquarters in Poole has insisted that we make significant changes to how we manage the Dip. The RNLI has said that ALL dippers must be registered and must be checked into and out of the water on the day. We have therefore set up an online registration system, which can be found by clicking here.

If you wish to join in the Dip this year, will you please register, for which we are having to charge a small entry fee of £10 for adults and £5 for children under 16. You will then be sent a numbered wrist band which must be shown before entering the dipping area and will be exchanged for a medal after the Dip. We very much regret having to make these changes to the Dip, but without them RNLI Poole would not give permission for the Dip to go ahead. Remember the theme for this year is “All Things 70s and 80s” and we are looking forward to seeing the usual imaginative costumes reflecting this theme. Do plan to arrive in plenty of time to allow for the usual heavy traffic and the time needed to check in.

Keep an eye on our social media pages for further details.
All the volunteer Crew and support volunteers look forward to seeing you all down at the Main Beach on 1st January 2023 dressed to impress!

2022 Events Calendar:

January 1st, 2022: Abersoch RNLI New Year's Dip - CANCELLED

Message from the organisers (20/11/2021):
"It is with great regret that Abersoch RNLI is no longer able to hold the traditional New Year’s Day Dip. This is due to new health and safety protocols put in place by RNLI Headquarters. The demands of these new requirements are such that we have no alternative to cancelling the Dip.
The Abersoch RNLI Crew and Fundraisers are very disappointed at having to make this decision, as for fourteen years the Dip has been a major fundraising event that has been enjoyed by the many participants and spectators. They are thankful for the generous support over those years.
Everyone at Abersoch RNLI now wishes everybody a very Happy New Year and hopes that people will find another way to celebrate 2022."

Saturday 23rd July 2022- Friday 29th July 2022 - Abersoch Dinghy Week

After a two-year gap as a result of Covid -19, South Caernarvonshire Yacht Club (SCYC) is looking forward to a momentous return for Abersoch Dinghy Week this July as we celebrate Dinghy Week’s 50th anniversary!

Registration is Saturday 23rd July with racing from Sunday 24th till Friday 29th. This year we are introducing a new modern racing format with committee boat starts, and two shorter races per day with varied courses taking advantage of the fabulous waters of Cardigan Bay. The new format will still allow competitors to enjoy time on the beach or elsewhere on the Llŷn Peninsula with their families/friends. We are also planning to run the Rookies (coached regatta fleet for U16s new to racing) again after its success in 2019.

We are working on a full programme of social events, with a celebratory dinner in the Cove on the Thursday evening, daily prize givings, and a beach BBQ (fingers crossed for the weather!) and more…. Competitors can look forward to the warmest hospitality at the Club as we welcome you all back.

To add some excitement to the event and to seek out some history SCYC is running a competition to see who can come to the week and bring with them the oldest piece (dated of course) of dinghy week apparel.  We will of course be producing 50th anniversary t-shirts for competitors. There will be plenty of prizes for the winners and a lot of fun on the way. The week should have a real buzz about it as we celebrate the evolution of this special event.
