In the Soling, I believe the shroud tracks are used to change the rake between upwind and downwind.  The same as in the Tasar, unless I'm totally mistaken.

In the 505, you change the shroud base location to change the mast bend/rig tension relation.  That is, it does the same as adjusting the spreaders, it's just that no one needs to climb up the mast.

Solings have in-line shrouds, so shroud tracks are a mast bend control. Normally by tackle to between middle and helm, AIUI.

Ok, so they do the same thing after all - it's a de facto spreader angle control.

Is the trapeze twings then the only control (if you can call it that) that is truly unique to the 505?

Pretty much inevitable that any good ideas in one class will be disseminated to others reasonably quickly, so truly unique controls/gadgets are unlikely, unless there are special circumstances, probably rules related.
