110

Designed by renowned naval architect C. Raymond Hunt in 1938, this compact 24-footer represents a significant piece of American sailing history. Cape Cod Shipbuilding produced 750 of these boats, establishing the 110 as a beloved coastal cruiser and trainer that has influenced generations of sailors. Hunt's design philosophy shines through in the 110's balanced proportions and seaworthy characteristics. The fin keel with bulb configuration and spade rudder arrangement provide responsive handling while maintaining stability, making this boat particularly well-suited for coastal cruising and sailing instruction. With a fractional sloop rig carrying 157 square feet of sail, the 110 offers manageable sail handling for small crews while delivering respectable performance. The boat's narrow 4.17-foot beam and moderate displacement create an efficient hull that moves well in light to moderate conditions. Originally constructed in plywood and later offered in fiberglass, the 110 demonstrates excellent build quality typical of Cape Cod Shipbuilding's craftsmanship. Its low comfort ratio of 10.58 and favorable capsize screening number of 1.72 indicate a boat designed more for day sailing and short coastal hops rather than extended cruising, though its seaworthiness has proven reliable in capable hands for decades.
