Carmarthenshire Land Sailing Club

Carmarthenshire Land Sailing Club, was formed in 2004 in order to allow Landsailing use of Pembrey Sands (Cefn Sidan) and Pendine Sands, in South Wales.

History

The Club, was created from the now defunct, Pendine Wind Sports Club and the Cefn Sidan Landyachting Club, in order to provide a single organisation to allow controlled use of the beaches for Landyachting and associated sports.

Access to Pembrey was opened again on 7th November 2004, after a ban was enforced by Carmarthenshire council.

Access to Pendine was opened again on 28th May 2005, after a similar ban was enforced by Carmarthenshire council.

Regulation

Use of the beaches for Landsailing, is restricted to members of Carmarthenshire Land Sailing Club, who hold the specified £5M Public Liability insurance, as stipulated by Carmarthenshire council.

Unfortunatley as of December 31st 2007 the club is no longer affiliated to the British Federation of Sand & Landyacht Clubs (BFSLYC).

The club welcomes members from all aspects of Landsailing, including Kite buggys, Speedsails, Blokarts, Land yachts and Kitewings. The only classes of land yacht not permitted on either Pendine or Pembrey are Class 2 Land yachts.

Other Events

The beaches are used annually by arrangement with Carmarthenshire Council to host rounds of the Supercup Race Series, and in September 2007, hosted the 2007 European Parakart Championships at Pembrey.
