Welcome to our website
The official home of the South African 505
We may be small in number but we are all fanatical about our 5 O's. So much so that we sail them everywhere we can: in small ponds blue ponds in the north; on big brown man made dams; amongst big rolling seas in the east and between islands and picturesque mountains in the south.
This place is truly a sailing nirvana!

On the past weekend (21/22 April) several 505s competed in the NV Autumn Grand Slam series at Stilbaai YC on the Vaaldam. The wind on Saturday was good but light with 5 races being sailed in testing conditions. 8520 - Mark B dominated the racing by scoring 4 bullets and a 2nd, while Team Ham came home in close second and Andrew Arthur with his newly acquired two dogs funking, came home in third. The event was the final organised event of the season and now all focus will shift to the 505 worlds in Poland and thereafter the nationals in September. December 2018 will also see the pre-worlds being sailed in Perth with the 2019 worlds taking place in January. Lots of sailing to happen post July.
Team Eagle, flew in the Admiral's Cup regatta in Hout Bay and performed extremely well during event. Daniel and Andre have been sailing 505 now for more than a year and are improving all the time. They are extremely committed and will also be competing at the 505 Nationals 2018 at the Vaaldam in September.
