The International 505 is a fast, fun and exciting two person high performance trapeze sailing dinghy, raced in over 18 countries on 5 continents. Extensive information about the 505, and contact information for the International 505 Yacht Racing Association and all National Secretaries is available at this site, as are links to additional 505 information at other sites.
"The 505 is really my favorite class because it is so lively and responsive in all types of wind and sea conditions. ...after having sailed all types of dinghy and all types of keelboat I would like to tell you that no other boat is able to give one so much pleasure as this one."
