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]

Contents

The design was at one time a World Sailing international class. [3]

Production

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]

Design

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 3,527 lb (1,600 kg) and carries 1,598 lb (725 kg) of ballast. [1]

The boat has a draft of 5.90 ft (1.80 m) 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]

Operational history

The boat is supported by a class club that organizes racing events, the International 11:Metre One Design Class Association. [5]
