DECEMBER 2005
Dear all,
As most of you know, this is my final day as international secretary.
As from tomorrow I hand over to Peter Roos.
Peter's contact details
I will be finishing off a few
projects, ie the current ballot, a few outstanding new boat
registrations and also the reprinting of the class measurement rules,
but all new applications for boat registrations, replacement
certificates etc should now be made to Peter.
I have been Secretary for the last 8 years and have greatly enjoyed
the comradeship of all the five-o sailors around the world that I have
had contact with over that time. I would also like to thank the
National Secretaries in particular, because without your help, my job
would be just about impossible.
Now that I can focus on only sailing, I hope to see a few of you on
the water!
A happy new year to you
all

Dear
all Thank you for a good 505
year.
2005 was the year we had the biggest
Worlds ever (until now!). It was the year where we saw excellent
sailing and good sportsmanship from all sailors in the class. It
was
the year where we showed the sailing world that we are alive and
kicking.
In 2006 I want you all to focus on
the international events.
The most important is Worlds 2006!.
Hayling Island are on track
organizing the 2006 Worlds, we now have more than 70 pre entries from
13 nations, and that includes nations as Ireland, Italy and Poland,
and the biggest number of french and UK teams for years!. If you
haven´t registrated yet, you can do it here.

And for all the European teams. I
want you to have the new EuroCup/European championship as the second
most important priority.
The Eurocup now has fewer but bigger
regattas, prizes, parties, sponsors and publicity.
You can check the dates and info on
the new Eurocup site here.
http://www.505eurocup.org
Last year we hade 134 teams on the
ranking list. I want that number to grow and be the biggest European 2
man class ranking list!.
So book your calender with the best
international 505 regattas now.
I wish you all a nice x-mas and a
fun new years eve and hope to se you all in 2006.
Best regards, Tom
Bojland

NOVEMBER
OKTOBER
At this time a composer makes fine music on it.
We cutted down more than 18 hours great pictures from the worlds to a 5
minute trailer and a long term over 90 minutes about all the 9 races.
A lot of people (specials thanks to the producer Gerrit) worked for free
or very low budget, so they serve paying customers first.
So I'm sorry, but we need a little more time to finish, duplicate and send
it out.
I think at the end of November everybody will
get his DVD.
Over all the DVD will be great.
Thanks for Your patience --/ Wolfgang Stueckl
SEPTEMBER

Dear all,
Here is the agenda for the AGM. Please forward, circulate or otherwise bring this to the attention of all your
members.
I draw your attention to two points.
First I would like to stand down as secretary. I have done the job for eight years and for the good of the class there needs to be
change. However, we are still looking for a nomination. In fact we a re looking for volunteers for all three posts up for
election. If anyone wants to know more about what is involved, please contact
me.
Second, we do not yet have any nominations for the 2008 Worlds. Please let me know asap if your association is likely to be coming forward with a
proposal. On the "normal" rotation, it is due be in Europe, but if there is a strong bid from elsewhere that should not be seen as an
obstacle.
The accounts are nearly complete and will be circulated soon.
Chris Thorne,
International Secretary

VM
går av stapeln i Warnemunde i år, 17-26 augusti. 170 båtar är
föranmälda.
JANUARI
Hej Ebbe,
Reine Andersson, en av 5o5
klassens gamla mästergastar, har gått bort 59år gammal.
Jag har idag varit på begravningen och träffade många gamla goda gubbar
från 5o5 tiden. Det snackades en hel del om gamla tider och även om VM i
sommar i Tyskland. Det har tydligen pågått en kampanj för att bjuda in
gamla 5o5 mästare för någon typ av racing. Intresset verkade klart stort
från ett antal gubbar att åka ner och deltaga. Kanske mer som social grej
än att försöka vinna seglingar. Vet du vad som gäller för dessa special
inbjudningar? vilka datum gäller etc. Går det att chartra båtar? Hör av
dig med den information som du har så kan vi sprida den till en del gubbar
här nere och testa intresset.
Hälsa alla som kände Reine att
han var samma goa gubbe ända in i det sista!
