The World's Fastest 505 - Fact!

With 16 World Championship wins and more than 240 National titles the Rondar 505 is the most successful design to have been built, winning every major title for the past 20 years.

Rondar are not content with this proven performance record and during 2013 have been working on a new version with a number of innovative features. The moulds are being produced now and the first of the new design will be sailing at the World Championships 2014.

New 2014 Model

Building on the success of past years, we are underway with the construction of a new set of moulds that will offer new features and performance improvements. The 2014 design will be ready for delivery from July 2014. If you are thinking of a new boat then contact us for an update on the new design.

PROVEN WINNING HULL SHAPE: Now optimised for even better performance, with major changes based on the proven championship winning design

LESS TORSIONAL TWIST: Major changes to the mouldings create less twist throughout the hull

BIGGER CHUTE: Easier launching and recovery

STIFFER DECK: Improved construction techniques

LIGHTER ENDS: Allows hull to ride the waves better

STRONGER CENTREBOX: Strengthened sides

NEW DECK MOULDING: Now includes new innovative features - greater strength, lower weight

New trailer system

Introducing the new Rondar Trailer System, built at our factory to a high specification, and fully galvanised. All measurements are fully compatible with existing Rapide Trailers.
