Dennis TS500
Description
The Dennis TS500 (also known as Dennis TS 500 or TS500) is a compact Australian trailer sailer / daysailer built by Dennis Yachts (Melbourne, Victoria) in the 1970s–1980s. It's a lightweight, fiberglass V-hull boat with a drop keel (swing keel/centerboard), designed for easy trailering, launching, and family sailing on bays, lakes, or protected coastal waters. It gained popularity in Australia for its simplicity, stability, and affordability, often used for club racing or casual outings, with some examples still active in trailer-sailer fleets.
