Many looked at the two 110’s as the crown jewels of the Fuller fleet during the 1970s.  This C. Raymond Hunt design which dates back to the 1930s became a fixture at the sailing dock and on the waters of Point Judith Pond.  The canoe shaped hull was built of plywood and epoxy. These boats were well known for their superior performance and were named after the 110 square foot sail area each boat carried.

Reserved for the top tier sailors at Fuller, they were not only fun to sail but provided plenty of hands-on experience in boat maintenance and construction.  Sometimes referred to as "flying coffins", these boats provided plenty of fast sailing for those more experienced sailors. Camp Fuller had switched from wood boats to more economical and practical fiberglass boats after the fleet of Beetle Cats were put to rest. The two 110's landed at camp and became restoration projects at first and when finished, became part of the fleet that was sailed hard and often.

The two 110’s (one red and one blue) were sailed hard and were well taken care of by the sailing staff and the handful of campers who could sail them.  Fuller maintained the two boats for a number of years and probably decided to remove them from the fleet in favor of more fiberglass boats.
