International
505 Nordic Championship will be held as part of Sinfonia Regatta
(49er, E-dingy, Laser, Dragon, Shark) at the beautiful Vesijärvi-lake
in Lahti Finland. The race is organized by Lahden Pursiseura (LPS).
Lahti is located some 100 km from Helsinki with excellent access
by a four-lane highway from Helsinki. There is also a boat show
during the regatta, which gathered more than 20000 people last
year.
The championship
is at the same time the Finnish class championship and it is also
open for non-Scandinavians.
We expect
around 15 boats from Finland and hope to get as many as possible
from Sweden and Denmark. The event has exceptional prices. The
first price will be a computer or equivelant. And we are doing
everything we can to make this event as inexpensive as possible
for you.
There will
be a total of nine races in three days of which best seven will
be counted. Registration will take place at 9:00 on the 10th and
skippers meeting at 10:00. The first start in each day will take
place at 11:00.
