505 Fleet
At Burton we have a small but very keen fleet of 505 sailors.
We aim to race every Sunday at BSC, but we do travel to open events on a regular basis.
We are always looking out for new members to join the class and will assist existing or
potential club members if they wish to try out the class or are looking to buy a boat.
The class is truly international being sailed in 18 different countries throughout
the globe. In the UK we benefit from an extensive open meeting circuit and in additional
to this there are events staged at venues throughout europe.
The World Championship is held every year with the venue alternating between the northern
and southern hemispheres.
