All,

If you have any interest at all in racing the Hayling Island Worlds, please read the below from International 505 Class President Michael Quirk. He is cc’d on this email.

I know several Canadian and US East Coast teams are looking for charters, but I think many teams are, and I don’t know if Ian Mitchell et al in the UK can come up with enough ready-to-race 505s to satisfy the demand.

“ *World Championship in Hayling Island UK* .

The Class, international and national, with expected cash sponsor support, will underwrite empty container spots. This means the cost for each boat is a known factor that won't change if the container isn't full.
Can I get a show of digital hands who would consider going if the container cost is manageable. Hayling has great sailing and great club facilities.
Answer here, or DM me.”

I am interested, but I need more than one boat in a container!  Speak up soon.
Thanks,
Ethan

All,

I could put this boat in the container, if someone wants to buy it: https://usa505.org/advert/for-sale-1999-waterat-usa-8715/

I am not the seller but the boat is in my possession. Great deal!

Hi Ali, this is interesting an opens the possibility at least for a container from Montreal.

Insurance is another roadblock.
Any chance the fleet can figure out some form of coverage?

Thanks
Steve
