That seems like a good idea. I had a look at the Class Association and they said there is a fleet at Chew Valley Lake SC. However on CVLSC website it doesn't say there is a fleet of 505s?? WaveRider - noticed that you are also at Chew, is there a 505 fleet there? We'll be over there this afternoon making fools of ourselves in our poky Laser II so we'll have a lookout for some 505s.... Cheers Paul |

Paul, Yes there is a fleet of 505's admittedly not a huge one but a fair few so you could race and muck about with them. Sadly i can't go to Chew this afternoon because i was sailing yesterday but next time you go down PM me and i'll watch you in your laser 2 (or chase you in the Fireball or Topper)! Where do you normally sail? |

The 505 does very well on handicap if sailed well. Its the closest thing you'll get to skiff like performance with a boat that behaves well. They plane pretty easily and they are a good boat to really get into. I started sailing a few whilst sailing Laser 2s, and would have swapped my old 2 for a 505 easily. Much nicer to sail and they are more designed for medium to heavier adults, the 2 is just a nightmare when you're too big for it.

Oh forgot to mention, if asked to sail a 505 whilst I'm not racing my own boat, I'll easilily jump at the chance!

Yeah there is DEFINATELY some at Chew because when i was out someone rigged one, quickly derigged it again because the wind was stupidly strong but there was a 3000, me and a mate in Toppers, a Fireball and a GP14 out because all the other boats went in but we were the odd people who like wind. Never ever seen a GP14 go like this one was.........................the bloke was intending to practise rudderless sailing, quickly realised that it was a bit difficult in the wind and gave up |
