Tributes have been paid to ISORA stalwart Huw Tudor, who has died in his 89th year.

An estate agent by trade, Huw joined Pwllheli Sailing Club in 1967 as the owner of a small fishing boat named after his wife and daughter.

Within a decade he had ascended through the management ranks to become commodore of the north Wales club for the year 1977-78.

In the meantime Huw became an active ISORA racer along with his son Richard Tudor, going on to compete in several editions of the Fastnet Race and Round Ireland Race while also scoring high-profile wins at Cork Week, among many other achievements.
