International 110

The International 110 is an American sailboat that was designed by C. Raymond Hunt as a one-design racer and first built in 1939.

While most boat designs have numerical designations that reflect their length overall, waterline length, displacement or some other dimensional parameter, the 110 class was named for the sail number that the prototype carried.

In 1946 the 110 was developed into the larger 29.83 ft (9.09 m) International 210.

In the past the design has been built at home by amateur builders, as well by a number of American manufacturers, including Cape Cod Shipbuilding, W. D. Schock Corp, George Lawley & Son and Graves Yacht Yard. The current builder is New Holland Marine Group in the United States and it remains available for order. A total of 750 examples of the design have been completed.

W. D. Schock Corp records indicate that they built 17 boats between 1966 and 1971.

The International 110 is a racing keelboat, with the early boats built from plywood and the more recent ones built predominantly of fiberglass, with wood trim. It has a fractional sloop rig with wooden or aluminum spars. The canoe hull features a flat bottom that allows planing. The hull has a plumb stem, a plumb transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder mounted well forward and controlled by a tiller and a swept, fixed fin keel with a weighted bulb. It displaces 910 lb (413 kg) and carries 300 lb (136 kg) of iron ballast.

The boat has a draft of 3.00 ft (0.91 m) with the standard keel.

For sailing the design is equipped with a spinnaker of 200 sq ft (19 m2), launched from a tube, plus a roller furling jib. It has a single trapeze, which is unusual in a keelboat. It has built-in buoyancy, which makes it unsinkable.
