2011 WA 505 State championships

West Australia

The 2011 505 WA state championships were held at RFBYC on the 25th of September with a fleet of 10 competing. 6 races were held using gate starts and windward return courses. Winds were light to moderate and the racing was very tight particularly among the top 8 boats with margins between first and 8th less than a minute in nearly every race. Murray Smith,a veteran of the class, launched his new XSP 505 with a celebrity crew to help him along. Murray and Darren Nicholson finished 2nd in the first race to give everyone a scare and raced consistently to finish a creditable 6th overall. Newcomer Dave Tucker ( a top 15 finisher in the recent flying fifteen worlds in the UK) sailed well to finish 8th in his first 505 regatta.
