Hill, Holliday, Connors, Cosmopulos portrays the small racing boats of the International 110 Class Association as “The working class of sailing.”

One execution shows a well-to-do couple out for a ride on their pricey boat when the following exchange ensues: “Honey, what are the ugly people doing today?” The reply: “They’re sailing 110s.”
