International One Design

The 'International One Design' (IOD, International) is a class of sail boat developed for yacht racing. It is a 33-foot open cockpit day sailer used for day racing, rather than for overnight, or ocean races, such as the Newport–Bermuda Yacht Race. Popularised prior to the Second World War, the International One Design class is considered a classic one today.
