by Ben Iliffe 15 Jan 2015 18:33 GMT

With 36 different teams taking part in the UK 505 Travellers' Series sponsored by Ovington Boats, competition is already starting to hot up for the 2016 World Championship hosted by the WPNSA, and with the 2015 UK National Championship to be hosted there things can only get better.

Winners of the series received £150 worth of Ovington vouchers. Fortunately they have donated the vouchers to the fleet development fund. The UK 505 fleet is please to announce that the prizes will be used in an activate your 505 event aimed at getting 505's out and about on the UK circuit in the lead up to 2016.

The date and location of the activate event have yet to be decided, so keep a look out and come and join the growing number of people who enjoy the world's no.1 performance dinghy.
