505 sailors, friends
and families from Australia, Ireland and the UK enjoyed their 505 National Championship 3 to 6 July
despite very strong winds preventing racing on Saturday and Sunday.
40 505s went out for Race 1 - approx 20 knots wind - as tide built
against the wind so did the waves - much excitement - 14 boats finished.
On day 2 3 races were sailed in much lighter conditions.
The Overall Prizegiving was held at LTSC
at 11am on Sunday 6 July.
