On the ninth day of Christmas....

For the major events the 505 is still attracting fleets of well over 100 boats, with the gate starts being four minutes of high intensity sailing for the pathfinder.

The book telling the story of the 5o5 is nearly ready for publication, but author Dougal Henshall is letting you help choose a great photo for the cover. Each day we will see one of Christophe Favreau's pictures posted, then at the end readers will be allowed to comment with their vote.
