Topic: rigging a 505 Posted: 06 Jun 05 at 8:14pm |
hi, i have a 1988 parker 505, it did have a leak and is now fixed, its pretty much bare hull!!!! i loove it in this state, so simple. i am now onto the fun part, rigging! if anyone wants to help me i would be very grateful. i not sure if there are standard kickers/vangs, outhaul, elastic for trapeze, pole downhaul. etc. since i am new to the class. i was hoping via pictures which would be brillant but whatevers good nick (o and very limited budget) p.s the only rigging i have redone so far is the self launching pole, this is not the new system, rope goes into the back end of the pole, up to mast where it goes down a pulley which is attached to an eye mounted on the mast and then down to another pulley mounted in the front deck and locks of through a cleat, an elastic pulls is back in |

You can refurbish the Parker jib furler fairly easily.
Removal from the boat Under the tape shown on the photo should be a rubber bung (might be missing) behind that is a pin that holds the bottom part of the furler inside a tube fixed to the hull. Carefully remove the pin with a pair of tweezers. The whole furler should now come out of the hull. To refurbish the furler At the bottom of the top part of the furler (underneath the eye of the jib luff wire) is a noeprene or similar seal. Remove that and teh bottom of the furler will push out through the top part. Catch all the ball bearings that fall out. Replace the ball bearings, ideally with stainless steel ones, but cheap steel ones come from the cycle shop and as long as the ball race is packed with waterproof grease, they will last a long time. Make sure the ball races do not have any dings in either of them to ensure smooth running. To replace Assemble in reverse order, packing well with grease. Fit the furler back into the boat and replace the pin. If it doesn't have one already, drill a small hole in the end of the pin and thread a thin piece of line through it to make it easier to get out next time. Replace bung or tape. Go sailing! Hope that helps |

the international 505 website has loads of pictures of people doing up 5oh's. Not convinced on having a jib furler as it means you can't have a jib cunningham on. I'm going to modify my boat to have transom sheeted main, seems to make the boat much faster upwind. |

do you mean an aft main, like the rs 800 and cherubs have changed to. my 505 has a lowered back and i am working on a plan on how to raise it up to the transom bar.
i also snapped the spinnaker sheet on the solent last weekend, but was an amzing blast, force 5 to 6 i recon, perfect weather, had the boat going over 12 knots, resucue boat could keep up. loved it, the 505 is such an amzing boat. nothing like it in my mind. did you do the nationals?

Yeah, Nice F6+ on the thursday with very steep chop, ripped the lower pintels out the boat. Could have been worse, there were 4 mast breakages!!! The aft sheeting has a split tail main sheet attached to the back of the gunwhales. Can you post a picture of the layout of the cockpit? |

How is aft sheeting quicker upwind? And is it proper aft sheeting with
the sheet coming from the back, or is it the sort that runs along the
boom like lasers have?
