505 Tuning Guide

As a One-Design class, the hull and sail plan are controlled and have not been changed since 1954. However the rigging layout, spars, and the foils can be customised within limits, this means that it is very important to tune your boat to the set up you have. Although most boats have varying set ups we can give you a basic guide to tuning your rig. For more information, visit:
