Glaser Sails officially opened for business in 5-05 and enjoys a strong presence in the class.  In the past three World Championships, Glaser Sails have been used by two out of the top five in each Worlds and by five of the top ten in 2007, 3 of the top 10 in 2006 and 5 of the top 10 in 2005!  Glaser Sails have finished 1-2 in the last two Pre-Worlds which lends some credence to the superstition that it is bad luck to win the Pre-Worlds!

We are really lucky to have the input of some very talented, committed and innovative 505 sailors to help with sail development and boat set-up and tuning. Jay is on the water every week during the sailing season coaching and working on 505 sails and sailing techniques.  His schedule includes at least one day a week on the water with Long Beach's "Team Tuesday" 505 sailors including Howie Hamlin and Mike Martin.  Since the 2007 Worlds, we have updated the mainsail design to incorporate the loose foot allowed in the new rules.  We have also finalized a larger .6 non-wire running spinnaker to complement our tried and true .75 All Purpose spinnaker. 

We continue to test new designs but so far have found that the standard sails test reliably fast across the range. We design, cut and build all of our sails in our loft in California and work very hard to make the sails as consistently excellent as possible.
