TheInternational 110 is an Americansailboat that was designed byC. Raymond Hunt as aone-designracer and first built in 1939.[1][2][3]
While most boat designs have numerical designations that reflect theirlength overall,waterline length, displacement or some other dimensional parameter, the 110 class was named for the sail number that theprototype carried.[4]
In 1946 the 110 was developed into the larger 29.83 ft (9.09 m)International 210.[5]
In the past the design has been built at home byamateur builders, as well by a number of American manufacturers, includingCape Cod Shipbuilding,W. D. Schock Corp,George Lawley & Son andGraves Yacht Yard. The current builder isNew Holland Marine Group in theUnited States and it remains available for order. A total of 750 examples of the design have been completed.[1][3][6]
W. D. Schock Corp records indicate that they built 17 boats between 1966 and 1971.[7]
The International 110 is a racingkeelboat, with the early boats built fromplywood and the more recent ones built predominantly offiberglass, with wood trim. It has afractionalsloop rig with wooden oraluminum spars. The canoe hull features a flat bottom that allowsplaning. The hull has aplumb stem, a plumbtransom, an internally mounted spade-typerudder mounted well forward and controlled by atiller and a swept, fixed finkeel with a weighted bulb. It displaces 910 lb (413 kg) and carries 300 lb (136 kg) of iron ballast.[1][3]
The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the standard keel.[1]
For sailing the design is equipped with aspinnaker of 200 sq ft (19 m2), launched from a tube, plus aroller furlingjib. It has a singletrapeze, which is unusual in a keelboat. It has built-in buoyancy, which makes it unsinkable.[3]
The design has aPortsmouth Yardstick DP-N racing average handicap of 89.6. It is normally sailed by a crew of twosailors or sometimes three.[3]
The boat is supported by an active class club that organizes racing events, theInternational 110 Class Association.[8]
In 1994 it was reported that the majority of the 110 racing fleets were in New England, on the US west coast and the US upper midwest.[3]
In a 1994 review Richard Sherwood wrote, "this fin-keeler was a breakthrough design of the late thirties. Rule changes, allowing a trapeze, enabled the 110 to win the Keel Division of the One-of-a-Kind Regatta in 1969. She points extremely well, planes on the flat bottom, and goes well downwind, but unless weight is kept well aft the bow tends to bury. Because of the very simple lines, the 110 is easy to build ... The cockpit is small and, with the narrow beam, it is difficult to work off the foredeck."[3]
