DESIGN The 110 is a long, narrow, double ended boat, resembling a sailing Canoe . The cross-section from bow to stern is a rectangle with 2" rounded chine corners, with bow and stern vertical line. The design's stability is provided by a 300 lb. Bulb Keel . The 110 uses a Bermuda Rig , with an optional spinnker, and has the rudder mounted far in from the stern. Originally built in Plywood , modern 110s are built in Fiberglass . Since there is a minimum hull weight, modern lightweight materials offer little advantage, and older wooden hulls can still be competitive. Crew is 2, although 3 can fit, one crew member can use a Trapeze rig to place their weight further out during upwind tacking. Specifications:
Over 700 110s have been built since the original introduction, and the current builder is Westease Yacht Service, Inc. , located in Holland, MI . Of the 10 currently active chartered fleets, all but one are in the Northern United States , with the remaining fleet in California . See also the International 210 , a larger 3-man racing yacht.
