Race-Ready Rigging for the 505 Class

Custom control systems, precision splicing, calibration, and carbon work — built by a 505 sailor, for 505 sailors. Get your boat set up to win.

Services

Everything your 505 needs to go from the trailer to the front of the fleet.

⚙️

Systems for the 505

Design and installation of custom control systems — rake, ram, pole launchers, jib and vang setups — tuned to how you sail and led exactly where you want them.

🧶

Splicing

Precision rope work in Dyneema and modern cordage: halyards, continuous control lines, soft shackles, strops, and tapers. Light, strong, and clean.

📏

Calibration

Rig measurement and marked calibration for rake, tension, and controls, so your settings are repeatable and your tuning guide actually means something on the water.

🛠️

Carbon Work

Carbon fibre fabrication and repair — tiller extensions, fittings, reinforcement, and structural repairs done properly and finished cleanly.

Built Around One Boat: The 505

The 505 is one of the most rewarding — and most complicated — dinghies to rig well. Every system interacts with the next, and small details make big differences on the race course.

I focus exclusively on the 505 class, which means every job benefits from class-specific knowledge: what works, what breaks, and what the fast boats in the fleet are doing right now.
