Rydal Penrhos’ RYA accredited Sailing and Water-Sports Centre has been at the heart of school life for more than six decades. It was implemented for those who want to learn more, targeting advanced levels of recreational sailing and water sports in pursuit of developing further interest in regatta/event racing proficiency.

We actively encourage pupils to join into regional and national squad systems to then further their sailing beyond school should they so wish. Regular competitions allow pupils to challenge themselves, and Rydal Penrhos also hosts its own annual regattas open to schools and clubs from across the North West.

The title of Pupil Commodore/Sailing Captain is a coveted one. Many who’ve held the title in recent years have gone on to achieve great things both nationally and within the Team GB youth set-up, becoming role models for younger pupils looking to follow in their footsteps along the way.

Rydal Penrhos is thrilled to confirm that Llion Morris has been appointed Pupil Commodore/Sailing Captain for the upcoming academic year. This is in recognition of his unrivalled commitment to sailing and the honours he’s achieved since joining the school.

Llion is currently part of the RYA Cymru Wales ILCA and British Sailing squads and recently took home The Ronald Grimes Sailing Achievement Cup and The Rydal Penrhos Sailing Commodore Award from the school’s Colours Awards event.

This represents a huge accomplishment for Llion, who has developed his sailing skills exceptionally well at Rydal Penrhos and dedicated a significant amount of time away from school to reach his goals.
