The results of the recent ballots are:

Vice Presidency:
JB DuPont (France) 86
A Ross (USA) 76
Jean-Baptiste DuPont will continue as Vice President for a further two years from 1 January 2007

Change to Rule B 8.2.2 to permit loose-footed mainsails:
For 130
Against 37
The revised Rule B 8.2.2 will come into effect on 1 January 2007.

Please be advised that due to an overwhelming majority in favour of, but still subject to formal ratification under A15.4, the revised rule B8.2.2 will come into effect on 1 January 2007. The new rule will now read:

Purpose is to allow loose-footed mains. Loose-footed mains would make the sails cheaper and easier to build and make it easier and faster to bend the main on to the boom.

Rob Napier's recommendation is that if anyone is ordering sails for Adelaide, or making use of winter discounts for new sails, get a loose footed one if you wish.

The 2007 Open Nordic Championship for 5o5 is organized by
Borstahusens SS in Landskrona on July 28-29.

Pacific Coast Championships Pacific Coast Championships Pacific Coast Championships

The third Eurocup was sailed in Kiel, Germany.

A strong fleet of 52 boats including 5 crews from last years top 10 at the worlds including world champions Hunger/Jess.

The first 3 days was dominated by looong days on the water, waiting for some breeze and only 3 races was sailed in very tricky conditions. The female team Fisher/Stengler won the 2 first races, later on they found that they had been a little to quick in the start in second race.

The danes Saugmann/Ramsbaek won third race, Herman/Kleiner fourth and it was now a close battle between these 2 boats in the last race before Saugmann/Ramsbaek could claim the title of winners of the "Kieler Woche".

Another 505 Team Boisen Moller brothers won the Kieler Woche in FD.

Boite/Toupet is now leading the EuroCup. But a lot of teams will be wery close when one regatta can be discarded after the final regatta - But remember the final regatta cannot be discarded so if you want to win the Eurocup you have to sail it.

"Har ännu inte sågat sönder ”min” 505, det tar emot!
Vet du vem som kan ha varit ägare till den innan? Den var hemmahörande på Vikingarnas, har klisterlappar fram till 2000. Borde därför varit ”vid liv” fram till dess. Helt klart är att en större renovering var tänkt, bla har den hunnit bli ommålad invändigt, masktejp sitter kvar. Gult skrov, trädäck, nu blå invändigt. Skulle jag kunna hitta ägaren – som sannolikt inte vet att hans båt är såld – så skulle jag kanske kunna hitta alla prylar till den – och då skulle sågplanerna kunna omvärderas.
