As far as I know 5.5 m is not "true" international rule boat as it uses modified rule calculation.

I found this one:Morty's latest 5.5s are the ultimate in absolute refinement. Lovely boats. John Green in Cowes has been sharing some pics.
I love the mast heel on a track, so downwind you move the heel a foot aft and the whole rig dangles over the bow with the kite foot in the water. It's believed to be faster!
I sailed on 5.5 metre made in 1960´s and it had apparently original mast heel track. It had about 30 centimeters of movement.Morty's latest 5.5s are the ultimate in absolute refinement. Lovely boats. John Green in Cowes has been sharing some pics.
