The entry list for the upcoming International 505 World Championship is on the world championship web site at URL: http://www.myskipper.com/505wc/participantes/participantes.asp
has been recently updated. Thanks to Simon Lake for pointing this out to me (there was another update earlier today, but this latest update added several more teams).
We currently have 94 entries listed: (WOW!!!)
| Australia | 13 |
| Denmark | 3 |
| Finland | 2 |
| France | 6 |
| Germany | 18 |
| Ireland | 3 |
| Portugal | 5 |
| South Africa | 3 |
| Sweden | 5 |
| Great Britain | 19 |
| USA | 17 |
| TOTAL | 94 |
There are probably additional entries as we know of British (6), US (3) and another French entry that are not yet included in the list. That would bring the total to 104!!
I believe this is an excellent turnout, especially considering that this world championship is being held in a country that does not (yet!) have an active 505 fleet!
If you are going to this world championship, please check if you are included
on the entry list at URL:

If you are not, you may wish to contact the Clube Naval de Cascais regarding your entry (or it may simply not have made it to the web list yet).
If you are not listed, please e-mail me so I can keep my own tally; I would like to write and distribute a press release, and would like to have complete numbers to use in it.
See you in Cascais!
