The Work'N'Store / Ronstan Australian Titles, hosted by Wangi RSL Amateur Sailing Club, attracted a number of international sailors including Mike Holt, Rob Woelfel and Jan Saugmann who have given our best a run for their money.

Competition was incredible and as the first 2 places were overseas competitors the Australian 2018 Champions, for the second time, are Mick Babbage/James McAllister. First female and first junior was 16-year-old Christie Bowden/Ian Gregg at 17th with a close second Amy Lee/Justin Mulkearns 20th out of a fleet of 40.

After a week of extremes, with 7 knots to 30 knots, gusting 40, on the infamous Lake Macquarie in New South Wales, known for its incredible sailing, the final results are below.

The 2019 International 505 World Championship is being hosted by Fremantle Sailing Club, in Western Australia, over the New Year in 2018/19. We expect 50 Australian boats to take part in this iconic sailing location so, if you have a 505, this is your year to take part. Entries can be made at https://www.fsc.com.au/event/505-world-championships/.

There will be a Classic fleet, meaning that the older boats with a sail number less than 8650 can take part with only one race a day, perfect for those new to the class. Ladies and Gentlemen, dust off your 505s and bring them out to meet their family. You have 11 months to prepare! Looking forward to seeing you there.
