505 Mast Ram Control Lines
My jib halyard is integrated too. To be fair that picture was taken during rigging so cleaner than reality! I have rigged a few boats now, sailed many more, so have a few areas of inspiration. Keep it simple, friction free and easy to see.- mikeholt

505 Love - From the home page
I would certainly take exception to "But I also like to compete and there’s no way a 10-20 year old 505 is going to have a chance of winning the nationals." Rob and I won the 2020 Australian Nationals in a '96 Waterat (24 years old!) and won 3 races at this years NA's in a 2009 Rondar that we...- mikeholt

505 Shroud tension

5O5 to complicated?
Super easy, the guys are integrated and do not have to be attached and do not come back into the boat, just the sheets. Although you can have a fine tune if you desire... All you do is pull the "in use" pole out when you set, release to gybe and pull out the new pole. It is a lot of fittings...- mikeholt
