International 505s to Descend on Annapolis
Annapolis, Maryland. - Over 30 teams of International 505 sailors will be arriving at Severn Sailing Association in Annapolis for the Fawcett Boat Supplies 2005 International 505 East Coast Championship beginning this Friday. The turnout is the largest in memory for a 505 East Coast Championship, and teams are coming from as far away as San Diego, Ottawa Canada, Florida, Ohio, and New England.
Three full days of racing are planned starting on Friday, October 27th. In addition, SSA will be open Thursday night for registration and equipment inspection. Friday night will feature the ever-popular Bargatta (Annapolis Bar Hop), and sailors should get their costumes ready for Saturday's Regatta Dinner and Halloween Costume Party held upstairs in the SSA clubhouse.
"Fall is the best time of year to race on the Chesapeake", said SSA 505 fleet captain Bob Patterson. "The water is still warm, and the stronger winds make racing much more exciting. We are very pleased that so many 505 sailors have chosen to race this event."
This past Sunday SSA held a warmup event with 11 505s. It was won by Jesse Falsone and Henry Amthor in 5-7 knots of breeze.
In addition to Fawcett Boat Supplies, the ECC is pleased to have three other sponsors onboard: Ronstan, New England Ropes, and Angliss Boats. Each will be providing prizes to competitors and is excited to be part of this awesome regatta. Regatta t-shirts and beer can huggies will feature the slick Halloween-themed regatta logo.
The schedule, NoR, and the News / Blog are all available at http://www.int505.org/fleet19/events/200510ECC/ . Questions should be directed to Bob Patterson (Fleet 19 Fleet Captain), at robert_beach@comcast.net.
The International 505 is a high performance two person dinghy with a spinnaker and a trapeze. It is raced in over 20 countries by Olympians, sailing world champions, club sailors, men and women, juniors and seniors. For further information on the 505 class, see http://www.int505.org/
