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. Boats was also built in Norway, Australia and Sweden. A total of around 300 boats was completed during the 1990s.
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 {{convert|3527|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} and carries {{convert|1598|lb|kg|0|abbr=on}} of ballast.
The boat has a draft of {{convert|5.90|ft|m|abbr=on}} 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 [https://sites.google.com/view/ica11metreod/home?authuser=0 International 11:Metre One Design Class Association].
