On the tenth day of Christmas....
When the 5o5 was first launched, the pundits from the International 14 fleet said that the boat would performance poorly to windward as it lacked a plumb bow. Experience over the years has shown just how wrong they were, as the FiveO is superb on all points of sailing.
The book telling the story of the 5o5 is nearly ready for publication, but author Dougal Henshall is letting you help choose a great photo for the cover. Each day we will see one of Christophe Favreau's pictures posted, then at the end readers will be allowed to comment with their vote.
