− Overall Summary, Finals Results and Photo album
The 48th 505 World Championship, held in Malmo, Sweden attracted 85 boats from 14 different countries, including strong teams from the USA and Australia.
However, the biggest contingent came from Germany, and they had plenty to celebrate as the event was dominated by Wolfgang Hunger and Holger Jess, who duly claimed their second 505 World title.
The championship comprises nine races spread over six days, with two discards allowed in the event of a full series. Although Hunger and Jess were probably narrow pre tournament favourites, other teams expected to figure strongly included Krister Bergstrom and Johan Barne from the host nation and the Danes Hans Joergen Riber and Henrik Buhl. The American pair, Howard Hamlin and Peter Alarie also proved their form by winning the preceding Swedish Open Championship.
