International 110 Class
Pacific Coast Championship
September 6-7, 2025
Pacific Northwest International 110 Fleet 19, with Port Madison Yacht Club, will host the 2025 Pacific Coast Championships on September 6-7, 2025. There will be 7 two-person teams coming from Inverness Yacht Club in California. The Pacific Northwest fleet expects to have 6-8 of their boats sailing as well, making a total of 13-15 boats.
The International 110 Class Sailboat was designed by C. Raymond Hunt in 1939 to appeal to Americans who wished to sail a fast but inexpensive design. The original boats were built out of marine plywood, which was extensively developed by the US Navy during World War II for the construction of high-speed power craft, including the PT Boats. The original boats ended up costing about 1/4 the cost of other conventional sailboats having equal performance. At 24' LOA, with spinnaker and trapeze, and weighing a mere 910 lbs., they were, and are still today, ultralight. They are often described today as being “the first Sport Boats".
PMYC members and friends are invited to come out and enjoy watching the races in Port Madison Bay!
