International 510
Currently not in Production
Launched in December 1945 as a racing and weekend cruising yacht. She was built with no structural keel, and is constructed with two longitudinal trusses on oak floor stiffeners extending to the after end of the cockpit to the mast evenly distributing the stresses of the rig and keel.
​
Low wetted surface area with a separate rudder-skeg / bulb fin keel, a concept Raymond Hunt embraced long before Lapworth or Giles, should prove to be a spirited performer, with comparable speeds of 8 meters and Q-boats.
