It is with saddness that we mark the passing of Liam Shanahan Snr.
ISORA Chairman, Peter Ryan, said 'Liam was one of the pioneers of offshore racing in Ireland, racing in ISORA on “Emircedes” and “Lightning”. Liam strongly promoted the sport. Many of those racing today, including myself, got involved in offshore racing after been “press ganged” by Liam, onto his boat.
The tradition of Shanahan involvement in offshore racing is continued with his son, Liam Jnr and his grandsons and granddaughters.'

It is with sadness we report the passing of Huw Tudor
Huw was a member of Clwb Hwylio Pwllheli Sailing Club since the early 1960's and a regular ISORA competitor from 1976 with Gwobr Aur and then Panache.
ISORA racing in the 1970's was in the days before GPS, or even DECA, he would offten tell later generations!
Huw completed several Fastnet Races and was a team member and navigator on Gwilym Evans’s Corwynt Cymru with high profile wins in Cork Week, Round Ireland Races, and the Scottish Series in Loch Fyne.
He was Hon. Secretary of the ISORA Race week in Pwllheli and Abersoch in 1982 with over 120 boats and famous for the massive sunflower (photo in the CHPSC bar).
He took great pride in talking about being able to sail with three generations which was more important than the race wins.
Huw established the successful family Estate Agency business in 1968. Huw was a Fellow of the Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors and was awarded a lifetime achievement award in 2008 for recognition in the surveying profession. Huw was an appointed member of the Committee for Wales of the National Trust, a nominated member of the Snowdonia National Park Authority for several years, and a member of the property committee of the Council for World Mission. He also contributed as a Valuer Member of the Rent Assessment Committee for Wales.
He took an active role in the community being the founder Chairman of the Pwllheli Round Table, President of Pwllheli Rotary Club, Chairman of the Llyn and Pwllheli Harbour Users Association and Chairman of Porth Pwllheli, a focus group and driving force behind the establishment of the Marina at Pwllheli. Huw was a Magistrate in the Courts of North Wales for many years until his retirement.
Huw was most proud of the fact that he was an Elder in The Presbyterian Church of Wales and a secretary of the Presbytery property committee for a period of over 40 years.
Father of John and Anna and of former CHPSC commodore and Round the World Yachtsman and ISORA regular, Richard, and current ISORA Hon. Sec Stephen Tudor.
Huw had great pride and fondness in his family, business, sailing and religion.
The funeral is at Capel y Drindod Pwllheli at 1300hrs Wednesday 22nd March, then at Denio Cemetery and all then welcomed to a funeral tea at Plas Heli / The Club.
