International One Design

The International One Design (IOD) is a classic, exceptionally well-balanced sailing yacht developed in the 1930s for competitive racing. Recognized worldwide, its design emphasizes simplicity, craftsmanship, and performance, making it popular for racing and cruising among enthusiasts. The IOD features a single mast, a sleek hull, and a wooden construction, with strict one-design rules ensuring all boats are identical in size and shape. This promotes skill-based racing where success depends on sailors’ expertise rather than boat modifications. The IOD represents a timeless blend of tradition, craftsmanship, and competitive spirit, enjoyed by recreational sailors and racers alike.
