The '''International 5.5 Metre Class''' was created to yield a racing [[Keelboat|keel boat]] giving a sailing experience similar to that of the [[6 Metre (keelboat)|International 6 Metre Class]], but at a lower cost.

The main class regulation is a restriction on a single quantity output from a formula involving the boat's rating length ''L'', weight (expressed as a displacement ''D'') and sail area ''S''; the regulation states that the output of this formula must not exceed 5.500 metres. There is considerable scope for variations in design while still meeting this restriction, and as a result each 5.5 metre boat is unique.

If the design parameters of a proposed new boat result in a formula output exceeding 5.5 metres, then one or more of the parameters must be suitably adjusted. Performance data gained from testing models towed in a long water tank (referred to in yacht design as [[Ship model basin]]) can suggest optimal combinations of parameters.
The 5.5. metre rule is a variant of the [[International Rule (sailing)]] that was established already in 1907. The 5.5. is therefore closely related to larger metre boats such as the [[6 Metre (keelboat)|6mR]], [[8 Metre Class|8mR]] and the [[12 metre|12mR]].

Since 2010 the 5.5 Metre is one of the Vintage Yachting Classes at the [[Vintage Yachting Games]].

== The Formula ==
The measurement formula is given in the [http://www.5.5class.org/technique/55_rating_rules_06.pdf 2006 International Five Point Five Metre Rating Rules]:

:<math>
5.500 \mbox{ metres} \ge 0.9 \cdot \left( \frac{L \cdot \sqrt[2]{S}} {12 \cdot \sqrt[3]{D}} + \frac{L + \sqrt[2]{S}} {4} \right)
</math>

where
* <math>L</math> = length for rating
* <math>S</math> = measured sail area
* <math>D</math> = displacement in cubic metres

==International 5.5 Metre Class Association <ref>[http://www.5.5class.org/rules/rules/constitution_5.5.pdf Constitution]</ref>==
[[File:5.5 Metre keelboat photo d ramey logan.JPG|thumb|International 5.5 Metre]]
The object of the International 5.5 Metre Class Association is to promote and develop 5.5 Metre racing throughout the World. The first President of the association was [[Owen Aisher|Mr. Owen Aisher]].

Since the development of the class spanned more than half a century the early boats are not competitive to race against the modern designs. Therefore the association made, in 2007, divisions in the class based upon age of the boat:<ref>[http://www.5.5class.org/rules/rules/wc_rules_v08.pdf World Championship Rules]</ref>
* Classic Fleet (Designs before 1970)
* Evolution Fleet
* Modern Fleet (Designs from 1994)
During major races there are separate trophies per fleet, however if a classic fleet boat beats the modern fleet, the classic fleet boat wins the modern fleet trophee.

== History and Olympic career ==
[[File:1952 5.5m race.PNG|thumb|5.5-metre class Olympic race in Helsinki 1952. Boats are German ''Tom Kyle'' (G I), Gold medalist ''Complex II'' (US I) and Danish ''Jill'' (D 2).]]
The 5.5-metre class was a redesign of the 6-metre class by [[Charles E. Nicholson]] in 1937. The first boats conforming to the 5.5-metre rule were built in 1949. There had been an earlier attempt to build a cheaper alternative to the Sixes. In 1929 the 5-metre class was established by the French "[[Union de Societes Nautique Francaise]]" and the class was accepted in London. It achieved a position as the smallest new international metre class and some hundreds boats were built. Nevertheless the 5 metre never managed to achieve an Olympic status. The 5.5-metre class replaced it quickly and was raced in Olympics for first time in [[Sailing at the 1952 Summer Olympics|1952 Summer Olympics]] in [[Helsinki]]. The [[Scandinavian Gold Cup]] has also been competed with 5.5m boats since 1953. 5.5 metre boats replaced the International 6-metre at the [[Sailing at the 1956 Summer Olympics|1956 Olympic Games]] held in [[Melbourne]], [[Australia]]. The 5.5 metre participation in the Olympic sailing events continued at the [[Sailing at the 1960 Summer Olympics|1960 Olympic Games]] and [[Sailing at the 1964 Summer Olympics|1964 Olympic Games]]. During the 1960s it however began to draw similar criticism as preceding six-metre class - namely, increasing costs - and the boat lost Olympic status after [[Sailing at the 1968 Summer Olympics|1968 Olympic Games]], due to excessive design and building costs of one off boats, marking the end of development class keel boats in Olympic regattas. However, the class remained active thereafter and 5.5-metre boats are still very actively raced.
