The 505 is an all-out, hang-out, screaming machine. Development began on this powerful, single-trapeze dinghy at the 1953 IYRU Trials to find the best possible two-man centerboarder. Within two years, the 505 was granted International status. Recently, the class adopted the six-meter luff spinnaker. This increase in the spinnaker's sail area has greatly enhanced offwind performance.
