About International 110

Designed by legendary yachtsman, yacht designer and sailing Hall of Fame member C. Raymond Hunt, the International 110 is an extraordinary boat. 24′ long, 4′ wide and weighing only 910 lbs, this double-ended, flat bottomed, slab-sided planing boat is extraordinarily fun and fast in all directions. Its small sail plan, light weight, long waterline and low wetted surface make it a pleasure to sail in all wind conditions from very light to very breezy. Sailed by a crew of two, with one on the trapeze, the 110 feels and responds like a dinghy but with the stability of a keel.

Modernizing the International 110

• By Joe Berkeley
• April 11, 2023

There must be something in the soil at Point Farm in Warren, Rhode Island. On this land, Steve Clark has reaped everything from traditional dories to C-class catamarans to International Canoes, and all sorts of genetically modified vessels in between. His latest crop is a brand-new International 110 crafted from sheets of mere marine plywood.

Members of the International 110 class talked about the creation of a kit boat for decades. When Clark rejoined the class, the dream became reality in short order. As the ­previous co-owner of Vanguard Sailboats, Clark was accustomed to building 3,000 sailboats per year. In the glory days, it took his firm about 18 hours to build a Sunfish.

Why is he putting his time and talent into building a kit for a one-design first built in 1939? With a mischievous grin, Clark says: “It’s the same reason why a dog licks his balls. Because he can.” At the age of 69, Clark is retired and still enjoys boatbuilding. He came back to the 110 because he saw it as a “geezer Canoe.”

“My competitive days in International Canoes are fewer than they used to be,” he says. “And I also wanted to be able to sail PHRF on Wednesday nights and navigation races. The 110 qualifies.”

Clark views the International 110 class as his client, and his goal is to build a quality boat that is as fast but not faster than existing boats. The first question he had to answer was what shape to make the kit boat? Clark brought in Casey Brown, who was a collaborator on previous projects, and they scanned a ­fiberglass International 110 built by Westease in Holland, Michigan. “The 3D scanning is remarkable,” Clark says. “Kasey set it up. The thing bounces light off the boat. We get a raw scan, then we run it through a fairing program on the computer.”

After the shape was approved by the 110 class technical chair, Clark worked on how to build the inside of the boat, spending a lot of time creating different layouts on the computer. Along the way, there were numerous obstacles to overcome. One of them was when Clark had a heart attack in June 2022. Another was the chine log. The original wooden 110s had a complicated chine that came out of a shaper. Back in the day, the builders had a large industrial machine to shape the chine. They also had a seemingly endless supply of 25-foot-long pieces of clear Douglas fir. Neither the shaper nor the stock is available.

Clark solved this challenge by treating the chine more like a stitch and glue boat. He covered the edge of the boat with a small chine, then carved a radius into it using a power plane. “It’s the same technique you use for making a round mast. You start off with a square, you cut 45-degree corners, and you sequentially facet the radius. After you’ve done that twice, you are within sandpaper of the right radius.”

Clark went through eight or nine iterations of the construction design until he was happy with the layouts. The files were prepared to be cut on a CNC machine. In the past, Clark has done the same thing with sailing canoes, noting that it is easier to ship files than big, bulky molds. “I’ve had guys in Australia build boats that I designed,” he says. “I send them a compressed file, and away it goes.”

Chesapeake Light Craft cut all of the plywood to build the hull and delivered it in a flat pack for $5,600. Clark sees this technology as a game-changer. “It used to be you had to draw the boat full size on the floor, correct all the shapes. That was a week or two of lofting. Now you can do it all in computers, get the parts cut accurately, then set them up and go.”

With the assistance of ­fellow boatbuilder Bro Dunn, Clark believes his kit-boat International 110 will be completed by May and racing this summer. The response to the project has been positive, with many of the faithful making the pilgrimage to Clark’s barn and laying hands upon the boat. “People are excited to see a new 110 take shape. The 110 class has a large alumnae,” Clark says. “There’s a great deal of nostalgia.”

But he’s not just looking back. He has a plan for the future. Out back, Clark has seven vintage wooden 110s that could use some love. He hopes to create a program with the nearby Herreshoff Museum such that teenagers and young adults can get a boat, learn how to take care of it, then go out ­sailing. The talks with the museum have been positive, and there are still details to be finalized.

On Bainbridge Island, 3,000 miles away just west of Seattle, Fleet 19 is building a prototype 110 from a kit it developed independently of the Clark project. Its approach to 110 construction uses a combination of fiberglass-covered foam and marine plywood. Brandon Davis of Turn Point Design in Port Townsend, Washington, is deeply involved in the project. He knows his way around a build. He has worked on four America’s Cup campaigns, aerospace projects, rockets, satellites, submarines, flying cars and small-boat kits.

“The 110 has traditionally been built with a tortured plywood bottom and deck,” Davis says. “To spring the shape into the 3/8-inch plywood took quite a bit of force, requiring strong internal frames, 12 big trucker ratchet straps, boxes of screws and lots of persistence.”

To simplify the build, the Fleet 19 team chose a 100 percent recycled PET foam core because it was easier to shape. That decision meant there needed to be less internal structure, which resulted in a quicker build. There were ease of ownership considerations as well. “Most trailerable boats sit in the backyard over the winter and, if they are not tarped perfectly, will gather rainwater in their bilge. That can spell the untimely end to a plywood boat. With a foam-core International 110, you will not have to worry so much about rainwater,” Davis says.

The Seattle team’s plan is to have the first hull ready, which is already built and certified by the class measurer. They’re keen to rig it and do some testing to make sure their boat is not “unfairly fast.” Like Clark, the Seattle-area 110 sailors are drawn to the International 110 because of its simplicity. Many of them are coming from the 6 Meter yachts, which are substantially more complex and expensive than Ray Hunt’s venerable design.

Milly Biller is the president of the 110 class, and she has rebuilt at least a dozen vintage 110s for her Inverness, California, fleet. She’s running out of old boats to repair, so she is thrilled to have new options for new sailors all over the country.

110 is a 24 ′ 0 ″ / 7.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Raymond Hunt (C.R. Hunt & Assoc.) and built by Schock W.D., Lawley (George Lawley & Son), Graves Yacht Yard, and Cape Cod Shipbuilding starting in 1939.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Originally designed for plywood construction, many early 110’s were built by indiviuals as well as other yards besides the ones listed here. Spinnaker: 100 sq. ft.

C. Raymond Hunt’s “TEN” Series (110-210-310-410-510-1010)

C. Raymond Hunt, and internationally known and respected helmsman and yacht designer. A gifted visionary, with an innate sense of the physics of motion. To his peers he was a man “ahead of his time” To his competitors, through his creation of the deep-V hull, and the radical international 110, the preeminent forefather of Hunt’s 10 series of yachts, he was feared on the race coarse.

James H. “Sham” Hunt, on his fathers 10 Series, “I have sailed on all…like the way the 110 goes through the water the best but a bit wet and pounds in a sea way…..the 510 was very quick, CRH and my mother won their share at Edgartown Regatta and the NYYC cruise. My favorite would be the 210…I am 6’2 so the 110 was very cramped for me whereas the 210 had comfort in comparison.”

For the complete biography on C. Raymond Hunt, there is the first and only biography in the works and will be offered for sale soon. Mark W. Kellogg, the author of the soon to be released Raymond Hunt biography is a long time Marbleheader, who in his youth, drove a 21-foot Huntform launch named “Cabby” as a nautical taxi, taught sailing in Hunt-designed 110s, was a paid hand on two Concordia’s, and raced with Ray Hunt in John Mooney’s Hunt-designed 5.5 Meter, “Minotaur.”

THE “ONE-TEN”

In 1936 Raymond Hunt along with engineers Bror Tamm and Gordon Munro decided to build a 36’0″ prototype at the Lawley Yard in Neponset, Masachusetts. Although there were doubts about her potential sailing abilities, she quickly proved doubters wrong. But, at the time, no one seemed to want one, the prototype was too peculiar, and slab-sided for her size.

After much thought and consideration the Raymond Hunt brain trust decided to scale down the 36′ prototype twelve feet. The new yacht was called the International 110, and with it a new era in yachting was ushered in.

After the 1938 Hurricane “A Wind To Shake The World” yacht construction prices were skyrocketing. Through Hunt’s association with Lawley’s, Raymond began experimenting with a new boat building material Harborite Plywood. The miracle overlayed fir plywood, offered “Armor Plate” protection with two tough, abrasion resistant surfaces of plastic resin impregnated fibres that are permanently welded together, creating a seamless easy, and cost effective way to build a boat. The 110 was built with four 12 foot sheets of Harborite laid over laminated oak frames and would use a simple rig with a rated sail area of 110 square feet, hence the name.

The International 110 was introduced at the 1939 Marblehead Race Week Regatta. Ray Hunt raced the boat around the coarse beating everyone boat for boat except the International One Design. With a price of $480.50 with sails the demand for this vessel began in earnest.

Ray Hunt would forever change the sailing world, hundreds of his new 110 design were being delivered as fast as they could build them. Unheard of for the time period, where other ship yards at best were producing 6-8 yachts a year, there were over 400 hulls built in a two year time period. Today as true testament to Hunt’s abilities, the 110 is still in production, and recently the class celebrated its 75th anniversary in Marblehead, Massachusetts, the place where things all began in those depression years prior to World War II.

Other innovations that were invented and used first on the Lawley 110 was the trapeze system, and the “Clewouthaul” – which was designed by Bror Tamm in 1939 . The one ten was a radical departure from the yachts of its day, they were unique and iconic in the harbors there were used in. They were the forefathers of today’s ultralight sport boat concept.

Through the initial aesthetic development of the 110, it was believed that painting the hull in such a way that would accentuate the roundness of the edges was absolutely necessary, if the shape of the hull is to look well. The new painting schedule was encouraged, but was often overlooked, in favor of more budget friendly all in one color paint scheme.

The Internation 110 is still in production, the current builder is Westease Yacht Service, Inc., 66th St & 135th Ave N, Saugatuck, MI 49453, Phone: (616) 394-0076. There are active racing fleets across the US in Maine, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New Jersey, Illinois, Michigan, California and Hawaii.

THE “TWO-TEN”

The International 210 was drawn by Fenwick Williams, under the guidance of C. Raymond Hunt. Designed to be a bigger drier boat than the 110s. Mr Hunt built a prototype in the Spring of 1946, which was presented to the clubs of Massachusetts Bay for consideration as the selected boat for inter-club racing. The requirements of the clubs were that they wanted a new one design boat that was affordable, pleasant for day sailing as well as racing, a boat that will always be uniform so that it cannot be out-built. ‘Fourth a boat that is modern and can be kept so. At the next meeting, the selection committee announced that Ray Hunt’s proposed “210″ was more boat than any other that the clubs could find for the money, so they adopted it, and with it a new era in yachting was ushered in.

True to the 210s origins through good price, comfort, and exceptional racing abilities, the class took off with some of the sports top sailor’s campaigning boats throughout Massachusetts Bay. Soon fleets were formed throughout the Midwest, Maine, Hawaii and beyond.

Governed by strict one design class rules, to keep boat costs down, but allowing for nominal changes to keep up with the times, a successful concept for the development of the class, yet challenging at times.

THE “THREE-TEN”

As of this writing, not much is known about the 310

THE “FOUR-TEN”

James H. “Sham” Hunt on sailing on the International 410 Et Toi – “CRH and I only..age 13…raced in the New London to Marblehead Race in 1949 and won by such a large margin that the committee called the Canal to see if we had taken a short cut through it..no of course….this was when you had to check in before any transit was allowed! I doubt I added much but he had such stamina that a 24 hour vigil was a piece of cake.”

Thames Yacht Club members considered the International 410 “ Nor’wester ” – “A stylish double-ender, one of the most beautiful boats to ever grace the club fleet. Under sail or bare-poled at her mooring, she always drew comments from people impressed with her near-perfect lines.”

In the Fall of 1961, during the Off Soundings Club Regatta, Nor’Wester’s 4th owner, Charles LaCour and his three member crew were enjoying a comfortable lead with two other boats, they were way ahead of the rest of the fleet. Under full main and small jib with 20-knots of breeze, they were approaching Shagwong Reef buoy off Montauk Point, when a strong squall approached out of nowhere knocking down Nor’wester . A huge swell then filled the non-self-bailing cockpit, and within minutes the boat sunk. The entire crew were picked up and brought to Shelter Island, New York, their final destination point of the first day’s race. That night, still shaken by their ordeal, they returned back to New London, on the Orient Point Ferry.

Anemometer readings, from Montauk Point had clocked gust up to 79 miles per hour. NorWester had sunk in 55′ of water, with strong currents, LaCour decided not to salvage her, figuring reluctantly that they would be unsuccessful in there attempt to raise her.

Later that year, the Off Soundings Race Committee, mandated that all entries had to have self-bailing cockpits. The tragedy influenced the implementation of the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS) laws that generated numerous maritime safety rules still in effect today.

THE “FIVE-TEN”

C.Raymond Hunt “In 1945, I designed the original “510” class yacht for myself as a logical development of the “210”.

Launched in December 1945 as a racing and weekend cruising yacht. She is built with no structural keel, and is constructed with two longitudinal trusses on oak floor stiffeners extending to the after end of the cockpit to the mast evenly distributing the stresses of the rig and keel.

Low wetted surface area with a separate rudder-skeg / bulb fin keel, a concept Raymond Hunt embraced long before Lapworth or Giles, should prove to be a spirited performer, with comparable speeds of 8 meters and Q-boats.

International 510 Revisions (March 27, 1975)

In 1975 C.J. Frankham, esq, Aukland, New Zealand wanted a inexpensive high performance owner operated yacht and decided to have CR Hunt and Associates revise and update the 1945 drawings of the 510 class yacht that Ray Hunt built for himself. The design of the hull was left basically unchanged, but the sailplan was updated. The main was increased 35 sq ft to 335.8′ P = 39.5′ E = 17′ and the jib was increased to measure 215 sq ft I = 37.5′ J = 11.5′ The accommodations were also updated to include 2 berths and settees with a head and small galley located in the companionway for the additional headroom.

Also Modified from the original boat is the deck plan. A self-bailing cockpit replaces the split-cockpit arrangement. The Interior plan, that accommodates 4 people, has been changed to suite the owners requirements.

Although the 510 design was revised for construction to occur in New Zealand, it was never finished. A reported fire in the barn which housed the owners business and the 510 under initial construction were all lost.

THE “TEN-TEN”

Briggs Swift Cunningham II (January 19, 1907 – July 2, 2003), American sportsman, entrepreneur, and heir to the Proctor & Gamble fortune. Was an accomplished car and yacht racer, having been inducted into the America’s Cup Hall of Fame in 1993, the Motorsports Hall of Fame of America in 1997, and named to the International Motorsports Hall of Fame in 2003. Skipper of the first AC campaigned 12 metre yacht “Columbia” due to Cornelius Shields health concerns. Cunningham and his afterguard won the 1958 America’s Cup race in four straight races off Newport, R.I., each time with a margin of victory of no less than half a mile.

“Mr. C” was an accomplished Star, and 6 metre class sailor, having won numerous races world-wide. By early 1939, having sold Lulu, Fun and Lucie, left Briggs Cunningham without a six-meter for the first time in ten years, at this time Cunningham ordered sailed and raced his C. Raymond Hunt “Lawley 225” out of the Pequot Yacht Club, Southport, Connecticut.

In 1959, through Briggs Cunningham’s long association with C. Raymond Hunt, he decided to have a new yacht designed and tank tested. According to James H. “Sham” Hunt, Mr. Cunningham, “wanted a 110 type boat long enough to beat a 12 meter.” Briggs Cunningham funded the project, “the tank test results came back and said there was too much leeway so the quest ended but later the tank test results (were reevaluated) and said they made an error by not taking into account that the chines on healing gave the necessary force!!!!! the boat would have trounced a 12!”

It’s not the biggest one design class – the International 110 organization is rather small. But what it lacks in numbers, which could be temporary, it makes up in spirit.

A   t-shirt   states, “Smoke a   J , Sail a 110.” An   ad campaign   asks, “Honey, what are the ugly people doing today? Look! They’re sailing 110s.” The class website claims the boat to be the “world’s first sportboat.”

After a one-year postponement due to COVID, the   2021 International 110 US Nationals   were hosted by the Hull Yacht Club in Hull, MA. And as is the case for any class closing in on its centennial, and all good classes, it is a committed community at work.

The Craig family (aka Clan Craig) organized it all on September 7-10 with the assistance of other Hull Yacht Club members who were declared honorary Craig family members for the duration of the event. While the budget for the event was limited, the creativity was not.

Five-time National Champion Tom Craig hand crafted the keeper trophies from his vast collection of vintage 110 parts, which he had been collecting for decades.

Following the world class hospitality at the 2019 110 Nationals in Inverness, California, the Hull fleet was determined to put on a lobster bake. Commodore O’Connor, who is known for his Hearty Goodfellowship, led the charge in the kitchen. Captain Peter Mahoney of the Fishing Vessel Windemere provided live, local lobsters and the fleet feasted like Kings and Queens.

International 110 President Milly Biller reported strong growth on the west coast and a desire to build boats. Under the leadership of Technical Chair Ross Weene of Rodger Martin Design, the class is reviewing a variety of options, including a kit boat using CNC cut parts.

Steve Clark, the former owner of Vanguard , was the prodigal son. He grew up sailing 110s in Buzzards Bay and returned to the class with new energy and new ideas on how to build boats. For this double-ended trapezer, spirit lives on

International 110 Class National Championship Regatta

Published on August 13th, 2013 by Editor -->

The Class president showed, blue blazer clad, from the Midwest. Sailors showed from Midland and Holland, Michigan, Chicago, West Newbury and Bristol, Rhode Island. But, unexpectedly, what didn’t show was the wind for the International 110 Class National Championship Regatta held August 5-8.

Tomales Bay, the home waters of Inverness Yacht Club in Inverness, CA, is known for its big summer breezes comparable to those of the larger San Francisco Bay. But for Tuesday’s tune-up and first race, the wind peaked at a lowly 10 knots. Though it varied a bit in strength, with an occasional 15 knot gust over the following three days, the wind stayed in the light-to-moderate range, disappointing the expectations of the fleet for a high wind West Coast regatta.

Seven races were completed with one “throw-out” allowing a final point total based on the best six finishes. The final results were regionally divided. First place went to Easterners Ross Weene, skipper, with Eli Slater, crew, on Ragtime out of Bristol, Rhode Island with a total of 10 points over six races. Second place went to John Huff, skipper, with Richard Martin crewing on Glider, out of Chicago, Illinois with 12 points. Third place, with 20 points went to local favorite Ann Lewis, skipper, with Sandy Cruth, on Sliver Surfer, from Inverness via Fresno, CA.

Five boats were sailed by visiting crews. Of these, three boats were towed in from the Midwest. All finished in the top half of the fleet.

Next year’s nationals will be held at Eastern Point Yacht Club, a venerable old club in Marblehead, celebrating the class’s 75th Anniversary.

The International 110, is a long, narrow, double ended boat, a “one-design” racing sailboat designed in 1939 by C. Raymond Hunt.

LOA – 24 ft. (7.3 m) LWL – 18 ft. (5.5 m) Beam – 4 ft. (1.2 m) Draft – 3 ft. (0.91 m)
