Please find attached information on the upcoming 2007 International 505 World Championships to be held at Brighton & Seacliff Yacht Club in Adelaide, South Australia.
This will be an awesome International sailing event not to be missed.
The very hospitable Brighton & Seacliff Yacht Club is an excellent sailing venue with a very experienced race committee that continues to organise very successful sailing events.
The warm, crystal clear waters, summertime seabreezes and white sandy beaches to launch from will provide 505 sailors from all over the world with the quintessential aussie sailing experience.

Rule B 6.2 - Centreboard and Centreboard Case

With high aspect ratio centreboards, where the pivot point is through a cantilever or 'beak' at the front of the board, and with vertically adjustable pivot bolts, there is a danger of infringing rule B 6.2, especially the last part.

Rule B 6.2 reads:
6.2 The centreboard shall fit within the centreboard case not extending below the bottom of the hull when fully raised. The trailing edge may project above the centreboard case top when in the raised or partly raised position. No part of the leading edge which is more than 300mm from the tip and is capable of protruding below the hull shall be capable of being raised more than 200mm above the bottom of the hull.
Further, the IRC has given the following official interpretation (March 2004):
Rule 6.2 is to be applied with all equipment, including spars, in its normal sailing position. The centreboard must be capable of being fully retracted into the centreboard case at all times whilst sailing.

All 505 owners and sailors are recommended to check that when the board is fully raised, and with any lifting pin also raised to the maximum limit to which it can be moved while sailing, that no part of the leading edge that is more than 300mm from the tip is more than 200mm above the bottom of the boat.

This will be checked on boats sailing in the Worlds in Santa Cruz.
