Since the announcement that Weymouth will host the 505 World Championships in 2016, interest in this International Class has exploded. Many of the UK’s top dinghy sailors have already begun their campaigns and others have boats on order.

During the RYA Suzuki Dinghy Show (28 February – 1 March, Alexandra Palace, London) two multiple World and National Champions, Ian Pinnell and Holger Jess (pictured), will be on the 505 Class Association stand (C86) for Q&A sessions for the benefit of those visiting – all are welcome and bring your questions about the class, boat construction, boat tuning and race tactics.

Also on the stand will be displayed the very latest in boat design and boat set up and our experts will be on hand to explain how the boat works and how the boat is adjusted for different sailing conditions.

The course combines practical sessions afloat, supported by shore-based sessions at the club. Each course is held over five consecutive Saturday mornings, from 8.45am to 2.00pm and the start date of the next series is 21st March 2015.

By the end of Club Class, participants will have experienced a brief introduction to racing and gained an appreciation of crew organisation and coordination, basic racing rules and sailing manoeuvres, as well as essential rope work and an understanding of meteorological and tidal information, race tactics and course planning.
