Chairperson will then appoint an event committee.
• The event committee will consist of at least the chairperson, general manager, on the water lead, shoreside and
volunteer lead and a safety lead. Each of these leads will create their own plans and sub-committees if required. A
member of the International 505 Class would be invited to sit on this committee where appropriate and would
likely liaise with fellow committee members digitally via MS teams.

safety, boat parking, volunteers, activities and entertainment, bar and catering, communications etc.

All of these staff will endeavour to ensure the success off the 505 World Championships. Shoreside Volunteers: We pride ourselves on being a club run by sailors, for sailors. We have a strong volunteer pool who have huge experience in event management for large classes from Cork Week with 5,000+ competitors to ISAF Match Racing Events to International Dinghy Events. Race Officials: Within the club itself we have a number of International and National race officers as certified by Irish Sailing and ISAF plus good relationships with many more in Ireland whom we lean on as an when we need to. Likewise can be said of Umpires and Judges and Safety personnel.
