The Flags are at Half Mast for Plas Heli Founder Director, Richard Tudor

It is with deep sadness we mark the passing of Plas Heli founder Director and Round the World Yachts man, Richard Tudor.  

Richard worked tirelessly to help establish Pwllheli’s Welsh National Sailing Academy, subsequently developed into a £9m multi-functional event centre. He remained an active board member of Plas Heli, the community enterprise which runs it.

Mark H Thompson, commodore of Pwllheli Sailing Club, said Richard was a key figure in the club’s history. Expressing "deepest condolences", he said: "Richard, who has sailed around the world and is a former commodore of the club and an active member of the committee, had such an incredible impact on all our lives.”
