Clyde one design.
In the spring of 1899 several members of the Clyde Corinthians sailing club asked Alfred Mylne to design a new class of yacht. The Clyde one-design 20-tonners as they were known were very popular and described by the Yacht Racing on the Clyde review of 1899 as “able and comfortable at sea, fairly speedy on the race course and prepossessing to the eye”. At a cost of just £900 each they were also relatively cheap.Initially five boats were made in this class, called Avalon, Noyra, Snarley-Yow, Tigris and Vagrant.Tigris remains the last example of this class and graces the mediterranean sailing circuit every year.Over 400 more original Vintage and Classic designs for the professional boat builder available at www.mylne.com

Wooden ships comments on this International One Design (IOD)
Designed and built by Bjarne Aas in Norway, 1958. Hull No. 440
The International One-Design Class was conceived to build, maintain and race a fleet of “One-Design yachts, distinctive in appearance and performance, using one-design racing in order to develop the competitive capacities of both helmsmen and crews under the fairest and most equal conditions.”
The design of the International One-Design was inspired by a Six Metre created by the famous Norwegian architect and builder Bjarne Aas, in 1935. Cornelius Shields, Sr., impressed by her beauty and handling qualities when he saw one sailing in Bermuda, initiated action for an entire Class similar in design and appearance to the 6m but with a loftier rig, a short shelter and a storage cabin. Aas submitted plans and specifications in 1936 and a syndicate was formed. In late 1936, twenty-five International One-Design yachts were delivered from Norway and commenced racing on Long Island Sound. Since that time, other fleets have formed in Norway, the UK, Bermuda, Canada and the United States.
With 12 fleets in 5 countries and over 150 yachts actively racing, the International One Design was the first class to be recognized by ISAF as a “Classic” One Design Class.
Prior to the Second World War The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club in Burnham on Crouch was the premier location for one design racing in England. In particular during the thirties it was the centre of 6 metre racing, attracting helmsmen from all parts of the world. As 6 metre racing became more intense at national and international level, so the costs escalated.
‘Tiny Mitchell’, then Commodore of the Corinthian, a post he held with distinction from 1931 to 1952, was well aware of the limitations that participating imposed and he did much to encourage the less costly racing classes such as the Dragon. Through his close association with the 6 metre class he was well informed on the origins of the IOD and recognised its undoubted potential. In 1938 he purchased Bombero and this was sailed by his son E.B.N. (Budd) Mitchell, later to own Tadpole. In order to encourage the class Bombero was sold to John Mould in 1939 and the Mitchell family took delivery of Nauta. Margaret, built in 1938, was brought to Burnham in 1939 and joined the fourth member of the class Flirt, owned by C Peto Bennet. These four boats formed the nucleus of the Burnham fleet and raced regularly as a class in 1939.
The Second World War and its aftermath were nearly fatal for the IOD class. During the war, legend says that Aas buried the construction jigs to protect them during the Nazi occupation. Everywhere the yachts were laid up and the materials used in the ‘golden era’ of wood, iron and mild steel were savaged by neglect.
Post War, the ‘Yachting Monthly’ (March 1949) carried an article on the International One Design and suggested that C Peto Bennet was planning to build IODS in the UK, by arrangement with Bjarne Aas. In fact this did not happen. The article goes on to praise the sea worthiness of the boat in the hardest of weathers as proved at the Hanko Regatta of 1947.
This and the opening of The Royal Corinthian Yacht Club at Cowes encouraged the Burnham boats to move south leading to a full IOD class racing on the Solent. The class now started to generate more interest and throughout the ‘50’s new boats were added to the fleet on a regular basis.
By 1973 most of the fleet had moved to the Royal Forth Yacht Club (RFYC) totalling 13 boats, 11 purchased from the Solent and 2, Arrow and Wahoo, from the Channel Islands. There followed a period of active and very competitive racing, with the fleet taking part in the IOD Worlds for the first time in 1974 at Larchmont, USA and hosting the Worlds on the Forth in 1975, 1979, 1984, 1990 and 1998.
From 1984, boats started to move west to the Clyde where there was a nucleus of three boats, Mirenda, Wildgoose and Starlight . The Worlds were held for the first time at the Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club in 1990 with the reduced Forth fleet transported to the Clyde and 1995 saw the complete transition of the IOD fleet to the Royal Northern & Clyde Yacht Club (RNCYC) at Rhu.
International One Designs have added colour and competitiveness to yacht racing wherever they have been based in the UK. In recent years the Clyde fleet dispersed and a small fleet collected in St Mawes, Cornwall though now also slowly dispersing.
While these boats have been raced competitively for many years, they are also wonderful day sailers even in unsheltered waters and it is this feature of the design which makes them nowadays so attractive to many owners who prefer exciting pottering to competitive hard racing.
Planked in mahogany on laminated mahogany frames at approx 3’ centres with 2 x steamed oak intermediates. The planking is laid tight-seamed and screw fastened to both the heavier laminated frames and the steam bent timbers.
The planking is varnished on the inside and painted externally.
Straight-cut mahogany web floors on every second frame running forward of the mast up the stem ensure the strength of the long overhang in pounding conditions. Several similar floors up into the counter secure that area. Midships, several heavy section cross cut oak floors also carry the ballast keel bolts and give huge strength to the tight deep bilge and support to the ballast keel.
Most boats still have a pair of eye bolts in the midships bilge to take lifting straps which allowed them to be craned.
K18 was recently fitted with a new teak deck on a marine ply sub deck, beautifully laid to the varnished mahogany cover-boards in narrow and tapering scrubbed teak planks joggled in to a varnished mahogany cover-board.
In proper IOD design she has a teak grab rail either side of the fore deck almost back as far as the mast providing a toe-hold for the fore deck crew.
A very attractive feature of the IOD is the small cabin roof built with varnished mahogany coamings and a scrubbed teak deck also joggled to a varnished mahogany cover-board.
Two fixed lights each side in chromed bezels and one recessed fixed light in the fwd face of the coaming.
The cock-pit is deep with adequate space for the full race crew of 4. The fifth member is usually allocated his seat at the foot of the mast, port or stbd depending on which tack was being sailed.
Because K18 has been fitted with an engine she now has a full width bridge deck with a centre opening flap to sight the engine.
A sliding hatch and wash-boards close the cabin entrance.
Slatted side seats run aft from the bridge deck leaving the under side deck space open each side.
Slatted scrubbed hardwood cock-pit sole in sections which can be lifted to access the deep bilge well below allowing constant sight of any water in the bilge when racing.
Deep varnished mahogany coamings round the cock-pit give excellent protection and the crew sit in this boat, not on it and even in a strong breeze hiking out is generally not required or desireable.
The cock-pit is open right up into the counter giving total ventilation to this potentially vulnerable area.
The raked rudder stock emerges from it’s stock-tube part way up the counter below deck with a varnished ash tiller which can sweep the cock-pit side to side out under the side decks.
The fore deck carries a single centre-line chromed cleat to take the forward mooring line running over a single stemhead chromed roller fitting. A single chromed cleat on the aft deck takes the after line with a single chromed fairlead alongside the chromed ensign staff socket.
This is an exquisite and totally uncluttered, clear deck emphasising this yacht’s perfect clean lines.
Fractional bermudian sloop rig on a 2002 aluminium mast stepped through the main deck forward of the coach-roof onto the keel.
Pair of stainless steel tie rods each side from mast step to chain plates at the beam-shelf.
Single spreaders with jumpers above.
2002 stainless steel rigging with single lowers and cap shrouds each side to a stainless steel bar carried on a pair of stainless steel chain plates reaching internally down the topsides thus very adequately spreading the rig loads.
Single back-stay to the aft deck through to a turning pulley and set up to a 4-part tackle under the aft deck.
Fore stay incorporated into the head-sail roller reefing gear set back from the stemhead with under-deck roller drum. Rolling lanyard taken aft through the cabin bulkhead to the cock-pit so the headsail can be reefed or furled from the cock-pit.
Halyards, spinnaker lifts etc in mast with a winch at the foot of the mast in the cabin and a pair of jamming cleats.
Alloy boom sheeted to the aft deck on tufnol blocks with single tail lead into the cock-pit through the after coaming, stbd corner to a cleat on the inside of the stbd coaming.
Alloy slab reef boom with two internal reef pennants. Ram’s horns at the goose neck.
Headsail sheets through short athwartships tracks carrying lead blocks allows the clew to be moved in and out.
Boom topping lift.
Kicking strap on tackle.
A versatile rig which can be totally controlled and tuned from the cock-pit.
Pair of Anderson self tailing sheet winches on the cock-pit coamings
Lewmar 8 top action winch at the mast step.
2 x mainsails
Jib on under-deck roller furling gear.
Alloy spinnaker pole.
Mainsail cover
Yanmar 10hp single cylinder diesel engine on the centre-line with centre-line shaft to off-set folding prop.

Yankee One Design by L. Francis Herreshoff, W. Starling Burgess, and Frank Paine
The product of a rare collaboration between three of the best designers of their time, the Yankee One Design could only be excellent, and she is.
In our opinion the hull lines of the Yankee are some of the best ever drawn, for outright speed under a wide range of conditions combined with excellent handling characteristics.
A long, narrow, relatively straight-sided boat with short overhangs, the Yankee’s great beauty is not so much in her profile, like most boat’s, but in a close-up appreciation of her hull lines. There is a lot going on in terms of shape, with a full deckline forward combined with a fine entrance, a shapely transom and V-shaped sections aft forming the terminus of a long, straight run, a minimized underbody profile combined with sections minimizing wetted surface area, a keel shape that looks modern even today, and details such as the blunt stemhead merging with streamlined bow chocks. Taken altogether, we feel she is one of the most beautiful boats ever drawn, even if some of that beauty can only be fully appreciated when she is out of the water.
This is a boat with a very high maximum speed, and she will sail at that speed a lot of the time. There’s a lot more boat here than there would be in a boat of this length having longer overhangs, so there’s more buoyancy, and while she would undoubtedly be wet, she will always be having more of a tendency to ride up and over the seas than would many boats. While she is a racing boat for sure, she is large enough so that her cabin would be quite suitable for simple cruising, and she has tremendous space for storage in the ends.
The construction of the Yankee One Design was very light. They carried a lot of ballast and a lot of sail, and while this made them perform well, they didn’t last long—the forces generated were too much for such a flexible structure. With today’s excellent epoxy glues and modern construction methods, this problem would be eliminated in a new boat, which could be far more rigid and durable, without adding weight.
We can think of no design more deserving of re-creation than the Yankee One Design.

Most Popular One-Design Sailboats
Key Takeaways
- A class-legal boats race is for you to compete without special modifications to the boat
- Small boats are typically one-design but some can be up to 30 feet in length
- The two most popular one-design boat brands are Laser and Sunfish
- Each class association is governed by the US Sailing organization
- Youth sailors greatly benefit from one-design classes to help shape sailing skills
One-design class sailboats come in a variety of shapes and sizes. But what are the most popular one-design sailboats?
Popular one-design sailboats include Laser, 49er, I-420, and Ideal 18. Some popular multihull one-design boats are A-Cat, Isotope, and Hobie 16. Various one-design boat brands will cater to specific races and sailor’s needs in order to provide the best experience.
In my experience the Laser is one of the popular one-design brands in existence due to its rich history and sailors loyalty to the brand. Many other brands are right up there with it in terms of quality and performance.

Top 15 Popular One-Design Sailboats
One-design sailboats are an international class of boats meant for solo sailing and racing. One-design racing incorporates virtually identical boats and some of the popular brands today have the best representation of the design class.
The Laser is the most popular racing dinghy across the world. It is a one-design sailboat they use in Olympic regatta and other world sailing events. There have been over 200,000 of these sold worldwide and they feature three rig setups to accommodate anyone that enjoys dinghy sailing.
The 49er is another sailboat that is considered among the best of world class racing sailboats. This small sailboat is a double handed skiff and requires that you have plenty of skill to handle it. The popularity has exploded since its debut in the 2000 Sydney Olympics.
The I-420 is a one-design class sailboat that is sailed around the world. It is commonly used in sailing schools and clubs for sailors that want to hone their skills as a dinghy racer. This boat is classified as an Olympic Development Class for all athletes trying to join the Olympics.
If you are wanting a blend of high performance competitive sailing without being too difficult then the 470 is the perfect boat. This incredible boat was introduced in the 1976 Montreal Olympics and is still currently used today for many of the races for design classes in the Olympics. These boats are used for the men’s and women’s double handed racing.
A popular one-design keelboat is the Ideal 18 that requires skill rather than any special rigging to win a race. It is one of the easiest boats to rig and is best for single handed sailing. You can use either a roller furling jib or self tacking jib to accommodate your sailing needs.
The A-Cat is part of the International A-Class and is an international developmental class for multihull one-design sailboats. It is 18 feet in length and is regarded as one of the fastest dinghy sailboats in existence. They mirror the quality used in the America’s Cup and are used in many races across North America.
Another one-design multihull that many sailors are switching to is the Isotope . This one-design class is a registered Formula 16HP class boat. At just 16 feet it is one of the fastest one-design multihulls out there.
The Hobie 16 is a one-design multihull sailboat that is one of the most iconic sailboats. It is in the Sailing Hall of Fame and is easy to sail. Sailors have loved this boat for over 45 years with over 100,000 sold worldwide.
The 29er is the younger sibling to the 49er one-design sailboat. This boat is a bit more advanced and perfect for youth that are wanting to take the next step up to the 49er. It has a race class devoted to it and is a great alternative to the Laser series if you have difficulty finding one.
A one-design boat that is geared towards a variety of uses does not get any better than the J/30 . It has the appeal of a racer cruiser and can accommodate all different types of sailing experience. This is perfect for those that want to race but not be tied down to limited options on the boat.
For youth that need a great starter one-design boat the Nacra 15 is a perfect option. It is a semi-foiling multihull that requires teamwork and is perfect for those that are building up the skills to one day be in the Olympics. At just under 16 feet it offers the ease of transportation anywhere the water is available.
The Atlantic is a classic one-design sailboat that is 30 feet in length and is fast. It has a keel and offers stability while remaining fast on the water. For nearly 100 years this 30 foot one-design has been at the top of its class.
Catalina 22
The Catalina 22 was one of the first boats inducted in the 1995 Sailboat Hall of Fame for good reason. It helped revolutionize the trailerable sailboat market and is a great one-design boat for sailing. It is great for the entire family and can be passed on for generations if taken care of properly.
A popular one-design sailboat that typically needs three or four people to sail is the J/22 . Hundreds of J/22 boats have sailed over the years since it was used in the 2004 Olympics. Its design allows it to remain competitive against older boats due to the strict one-design class.
The most iconic one-design sailboat out there is arguably the Sunfish . There are over 500,000 Sunfish boats around the world since the 1950’s and are used in roughly a thousand races a year. The beauty of this one-design is that it can be used as a racing boat or for casual day sailing.
Why One-Design Boats are Used for Racing
Sailing has been primarily used over the course of history to ship goods across waterways. Over time designs changed and people were interested in seeing who was faster than one another.
This led to the design of racing sailboats and were first used in the 1800’s in Greece. Fast forward over 200 years later and there are thousands of boats racing across the world in various competitions.
One-design boats are not only meant for racing and can be used for daysailing depending on the brand. If you want to be on the same playing field and for everyone else to do the same then one-design boats are ideal.
Need for Speed
There is a unique feeling when you see another sailboat just like yours and you have the itch to race it. This has always been a driving force behind racing and it is fueled by sailors that have a competitive outlook.
One-designs are meant to allow your skill shine and not the boat aiding in your ability to win. Dinghy sailing are boats that are under 20 feet and are typically handled by less than three people.
Importance of Design
One-designs are a balance of sport and comfort. Some boats are geared entirely for racing but there are plenty that balance perfectly as a daysailer and a racing boat.
Many will also have keels to provide added stability. A small keelboat is great for those wanting to have a bit more stability if they have a fear of tipping over in the water. Small keelboats are also great for those that are new to sailing and require a little help remaining stable.
Best for Training
If you are an inexperienced sailor or you want your kids to lean how to sail then one-design boats are the best option. Since these design classes all have to be similar depending on the boat length it is easier to learn on these than another type of boat.
This allows youth to easily adapt to the boat without being too overwhelmed or discouraged. It also helps if you start out on a one-design boat and then move up to a more advanced boat with a similar skill set needed to operate it.
In addition you can try out different types of one-design sailboats without having to buy one. This will allow you to get your feet wet with yacht clubs or other solo sailing organizations and have fun trying new boats.
What are One-Design Races?
One-design sailing is where an event of racing takes place and all of the boats that are competing are identical or very similar. The reason that these boats are nearly identical is so that no one competitor has an edge based on their boat rigging or any other special influences.
These races are entirely based on skill with minor help from the boat you are using so that everyone gets a fair shot. Everyone starts at the same time and the first to go across the finish line is the winner.
There is an estimated 200 or more one-design race classes around the US and vary in boat length from eight to 40 feet. These races are narrowed down among various racing organizations and clubs across the world.
Different Types of One-Design Races
There are many versions of one-design racing that sailors can join. This all depends on your experience or potentially a club that you are a part of. In the Olympics you will also see various one-design races.
Match races are quite common among one-design sailing. This is where two sailboats are of the same design or very similar are competing against one another to determine a winner.
The only major difference between the two boats sailing against each other is the crews on board each boat. Depending on the experience of the crew will greatly affect the outcome of the race.
Arguably the most common one-design racing is fleet. This is where either a small handful of boats or even up to 100 at a time can compete to cross a finish line in a given location.
These are great because you have a lot of sailors starting at one spot at the same time in very similar or identical boats. This is the same setup used in the Olympics and is why it is the most common race type.
Sailing clubs are great for building experience and camaraderie among your sailing peers. These can vary on one-design use but most will outline exactly what type of racing is going to be conducted.
These typically use various forms of racing types or one-design sailboats depending on location. In addition you can race to be the best of your club and earn a trophy.
Team racing is a bit different than other races that deliver a winner as soon as they cross the finish line. These are usually a few one-design boats with a few people on board and will award points to those teams depending on how they finish the race. The team that has the lowest amount of points after each race is the winner and it will require a few races to determine a winner.
Regatta races can vary based on location and will use different types of one-design sailboats. These races typically last a few days and will need teammates if the event is geared towards a team event. Most people enjoy regattas since they offer one of the best social interactions lasting a few days.
If you have ever wondered what it would be like to travel hundreds of miles or sail for days on end to reach a destination first then offshore one-design sailing is right for you. These races require extensive knowledge in order to remain safe. They typically have one-design requirements so that everyone is on the same playing field.
If you have disabilities and still want to enjoy sailing then paralympic sailing competitions are right for you. These are one-design sailboat races meant to handle skill and can accommodate to anyone attempting to sail.
