Pre Worlds Report By Ferdinand
29 July,
The Pre Worlds ended yesterday with some interesting changes in the final results. The Funke Brothers moved up to position number 14 (they managed to get a 7th position in race 6). Rudolph and I moved up to 17. Plattner/Alerie moved up to 20. Klaas/Von Grünewaldt to 21 (they managed an excellent 5th position in race 5). Holm/Buhrmann moved up to 28th and the Ham father/son team ended in position 34 (Alexander Ham is the helmsman, he is only 16 years old)!

505 Pre Worlds RSA Results
Our lads are warming up for the worlds, some nice results so far. 72 Boats in total.
Denmark Worlds - Boats loaded
The 5 South African teams competing in the 2010 505 Worlds in Aarhus, Denmark loaded their boats into the container on the 7th June 2010.
You can see pictures from the container packing exercise in the gallery. Just once again wanted to thank Peter for all the effort in arranging the container and shipping, a massive task. I also think we should get him to sing Madonna, "Like a Virgin" at the worlds with his nice little reflector vest ;-) See the photo!
With the boats shipped sailing training will be difficult, but concentrated fitness training will continue in the winter months, while everyone else is watching the Soccer World Cup over June-July.
5 boats were loaded and the container should return with 3 second hand boats destined for Durban, Cape Town and Knysna, to further grow the fleets there.
505 BP Trophy Results - Freestate Champs
Good wind! Disappointing turnout!
The Freestate Championships/505 BP Trophy held this last weekend (8-9th May) at Aeolians was an ideal opportunity to get in some last minute racing before the cold claws of winter take their hold.
Unfortunately the turnout was rather poor in all three classes but the teams who attended used the good wind and had some very exciting and close racing. There were only 4 505 teams there, 7 Oppies and 2 Dabbies!
Alexander and Warwick Ham showed that the results of their training was starting to pay off and dominated the event, while Rudolph and Ferdinand Holm tried as hard as they could, in Albrechts second boat (Ramkat), to keep up the pressure but finished a close second. Albrecht and Willem Buhrmann were given one bullet when, on the last reach of the last race in steadily building breeze, the two front boats took each other on in a duel over who would take down their spinnakers last!
