The 11:Metre One Design, also called the 11 Metre or 11 Meter, is an American trailerable sailboat that was designed by Ron Holland and Rolf Gyhlenius as a one-design racer and first built in 1990.[1] [2] [3]
The design was at one time a World Sailing international class.[3]
The design was built by Precision Boat Works in Palmetto, Florida, United States, starting in 1990, with 350 boats completed, but it is now out of production.[1] [4]
The 11 Meter is a racing keelboat, built predominantly of cored fiberglass. It has a fractional sloop rig, a raked stem, a sharply reverse transom, an internally mounted spade-type rudder controlled by a tiller and a fixed fin keel with a weighted lead bulb. It displaces 35270NaN0 and carries 15980NaN0 of ballast.[1]
The boat has a draft of 5.9feet with the standard keel.[1]
The design has minimal cabin space, intended for storage space.[1]
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical masthead spinnaker.[1]
The boat is supported by a class club that organizes racing events, the International 11:Metre One Design Class Association.[5]
