Cinquo, the king of dinghies?
The Cinquo has been innovative since its creation in 1953 designed by John Westell with the appearance of the trapeze, the hull deflectors, the spinnaker (a first on a dinghy) and the self-draining.
It is a pretty boat with fine lines that flare out towards the rear. The 505's planing hull, combined with 16 square metres of sail area upwind and 35 square metres downwind, allow it to glide at all speeds. This gives a great feeling, especially when sailing on the beam where the hull lifts off and reaches high speeds.
To control her power, you need to know how to play with the many adjustments the Cinquo offers, from the sails to the centreboard and the mast. However, it remains a handy, seaworthy boat that is very easy to handle.
5o5 and the second-hand market
It is an expensive boat with a lot of expensive fittings and noble materials for the most recent ones. So no miracle, the Cinquo is a fairly expensive dinghy. Older models nevertheless allow access to the myth at a lower cost.
