It's an old One Design Class
The International 14 is an old one design class and it's been around for many years. It used to be really popular along with Thistles, El Toros, Blue Jays, Stars, etc. Anyone thats been around boats for a while will remember Internationals. There were lots of them made. Below under "Related link" is a link to a web site where I'm shure you can get the information you need. My bet is the rudder has to meet certain measurement requirements. If that link didn't have it then this is the International 14 Home Page: http://www.i14.org/. The picture on the home page looks a lot different than I remember them! Hope this helps.

International Class
The writer did not say it was an International 14, though with an HIN it may well be. There was a very popular, very pretty, classic keel boat with a cuddy cabin called the Internatial Class with IC as it's sail emblem. I think they were about 24 feet. There was a huge fleet of them in Marblehead in the '40s. There is at least one currently sailing out of Manhasset Bay. They were one-designs too, as I recall. Another boat of the period was the 30 square meter class, also classic, also cuddy cabin but over thirty feet, I believe. The 30 squares were generally bright finished mahogany hulls while the ICs were painted. I know, doesn't help much. But brings back memories.
