The '''11:Metre One Design''', also called the '''11 Metre''' or '''11 Meter''', is an American [[Trailer sailer|trailerable]] [[sailboat]] that was designed by [[Ron Holland]] and [[Rolf Gyhlenius]] as a [[one-design]] [[Sailing (sport)|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 rig|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]''.
