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.
The design was at one time a World Sailing international class.
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.
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.
The boat has a draft of 5.90 ft (1.80 m) with the standard keel.
The design has minimal cabin space, intended for storage space.
For sailing downwind the design may be equipped with a symmetrical masthead spinnaker.
Operational history
The boat is supported by a class club that organizes racing events, the International 11:Metre One Design Class Association.
