The winch from Sails from Aluminum mast from Wooden booms from Brass fittings from Ballast totals 63.7 lbs, in three separate pieces, all of which will be removable. This boat is for recreational use only. I am trying to replicate the majesty of the "J"s, therefore, the mast is precisely scale length. Though the real ones did not use a jib boom, mine will be attached sort of close to the bow at 8.9% of LOA, unlike some model racing "Js" at around 13%. The sail plan is individual, and mine will carry a full measure, which will limit it to light air. Of the 10 America's Cup racing Js, I chose the 1934 Endeavour because of its quintessential lines. Simply gorgeous. I'm happy to answer any more questions. Ooby | |

will take you through the process of building a Shamrock V, which later won the J-Class NCR. Its LOA is 89.75 in vs Endeavour's LOA of 97.375. Since these boats are 1:16 scale, you'll see these types of differences through out the ten "J"s. The first step is to decide which J to model. The next decision will be to scratch build from line drawings, or purchase a glass hull. Line Drawings of individual hulls and decks in 1:16 scale are available from Rene Serrao, 650 Ketch Harbour Rd., Portuguese Cove, N.S. B3V1K1 Canada In answer to your question above, if you decide to go the glass hull route, my advice is to call the prospective seller and get comfortable with the info provided. In my case, Bob Sennott was absolutely great to work with and provided hand written illustrations of critical areas and measurements. These boats are scratch built and highly individual. "How" you build one is essentially up to you. John Hanks, current AMYA J-Class Secretary wrote a series of 5 build articles, beginning with the Spring, 2000 AMYA quarterly. I recommend obtaining past issues, volumes 119, 121, 122, 123, 124. He also wrote an article on building a planked deck in volume 149. I hope this helps. I'll do my best to answer any further questions. Ooby | |

J Class Yacht DesignDiscussion in ' Boat Design ' started by Mattyb , Sep 19, 2017 . ![]() Mattyb Junior MemberHey guys, new to the form, and new to investigating the possibility of building my own boat. I have for the past few days been trying to find schematics for a J Class sailing Yacht in the 50ft range of size, for single handed sailing. Which leads to my first question, has anyone ever stumbled across such a thing? Preferably a fiberglass build. If not, any suggestions on which hull design program would be best to design a hull of this type that is not going to break the bank? I found some crude layouts of a few of the J class yachts, more or less want to use them for a basic design to build from, and adjust the scale. ![]() gonzo Senior MemberJ class boats are much longer than 50 feet. The smaller ones are about 120 feet. If you are worrying about not breaking the bank, this is not a viable project; unless you have a few million in that account. Is there a particular reason why you couldn't take the overall design of the ship and downsize it? I understand the reason for the length of the J classes that are made now. But in the past they were made in significantly smaller lengths for different race classes. ![]() PAR Yacht Designer/BuilderWelcome to the forum. Down sizing a little (say up to 15%) is safe, but more than this, and you need to reevaluate the design criteria. The J's were the playthings of the society classes and not anything remotely inexpensive. The class was folded because of the costs associated with their construction and operation. So, if you have literally 10's of millions laying around with nothing better to do . . . Now a 50' J class watanabe is possible. Have a look at the "W" class and see if it'll spark the same emotions. If so, I know of a 48' W class for sale, built in 2014 and a mere 1.2 million. ![]() Dolfiman Senior MemberYou can have a look at Hoek design and Leonardo yachts, specialised in "J class look" yachts, meaning Jclass overhangs, modern appendages inc. inverted T keel bulb : Hoek Design » Josephine II https://www.hoekdesign.com/yacht/josephine-ii . , a 36´ Leonardo Yachts - eagle36 http://www.leonardoyachts.com/en/eagle36.html Leonardo Yachts - eagle44 http://www.leonardoyachts.com/en/eagle44.html Leonardo Yachts - eagle54 http://www.leonardoyachts.com/en/eagle54.html .... and if you are a wealthy man : Hoek Design » Firefly https://www.hoekdesign.com/yacht/firefly1 , a 115´ ![]() dsigned O.R.C.

![]() CloudDiver Senior MemberMattyB, the J Class yachts inspire many people... myself included. Without question we can agree they are the most beautiful yachts ever built. I would encourage you to look at the Universal Rule and understand the rating (wiki article is a good start; Universal rule - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universal_rule ) Some of the more seasoned designers or engineers here will correct me if I'm not using the right words here, but essentially to maximize the potential of the rating rule is why the J class yachts ended up so large and with so much sail area. For my limited ability in actual design but roughly understanding the principles, yes a J class can be scaled down BUT it could a) not look right, or b) not meet the Universal Rule. There were many other yachts built to the Universal Rule and they still have the look of a J. Google Larchmont O Class and you will see an example that is 60 ft LOA, 12 ft Beam and very pretty. If sticking to racing rules does not matter to you, and you are looking for the pleasing lines and emulating sheer beauty of the J class at a more realistic build/up-keep cost then you should look at classic designs in general. Try going to the Sparkman & Stephens blog and look at the design drawings in the 40-60ft range. The lower the design number the older the design... in the low design numbers you will find many beautiful examples of classic yachts will long overhangs fore and aft. Good luck finding what you are looking for! I have been doing the same thing for the last 5 years... no rush, I have learned a ton and it's far better reading than sitting through hours of brain-dead TV. ![]() Scale J Boat J Class Yacht RangerI class yacht 53 metres. ![]() Built 'to class'![]() Heritage Class Offshore Patrol Cutter Argus launched![]() Skinny Class 40![]() Does anyone here have latest verions of Classe950 box rules?![]() Is Brupeg ice class?![]() Modern Hi Tech Viking Ship Development Class![]() SOR for Squidly-Diddly class Sloop Of WarIs class 950 still relevant.
![]() ![]() Canterbury J Class Model YachtCanterbury J Class Model Yacht website ![]() A Brief History of the Canterbury J Class Model Yacht Sailing at the Christchurch Model Yacht Club [CMYC] in 1996-1997 there was a small classic J Class model yacht named RANGER with a length of 1.2 metres and this was owned by Dave Heanly. This yacht was J1 which was eventually purchased from Dave and is now on display in the CMYC club rooms at Hagley Park. ![]() A group of CMYC members decided the J Class yacht would be ideal for easy fully rigged transport and sailing in weedy conditions at Lake Victoria. The hull of number J1 was purchased from Model Boats and the sail plan designed by Hugh Hobden. An approach was made to purchase more hulls. Euan Sargison negotiated and another 9 hulls were purchased and sold very quickly. The J Class Squadron was formed 2 Sep 1997. Two more hulls appeared making the total at this time twelve. More hulls were in demand and the place that originally sold the hulls advised that the mould had been lost. After investigating it was found that the original hulls supplied had been taken from a Timaru J Class yacht. It was decided to make a Canterbury mould with adjustments. The hull was deepened by 16mm and the lead reduced by 16mm and the trim weight put inside the hull. The J Class squadron purchased the new mould with a loan from Peter Vincent and the loan was repaid from hull sales. Number J13 was the first hull To promote the sailing class three trophies were donated by Peter Vincent. More Canterbury J Class historical information can be found HERE ![]() The basic philosophy was to have an easily sailed and economically built RC yacht’ based on a one design principles to provide good resale value, and with racing dependent more on the skipper rather than designer/builder skill.These objects have been attained and the Class has attracted many first time sailors, mostly from the retired ranks who share the common creed, “it sure beats gardening!” The boat can be transported easily in the average car or station wagon fully rigged. Many boats have features of the original Canterbury J Class. The “Wednesday Windlers” can muster fleets of 30 plus for their around-the-lake sailing on Lake Victoria. Why not visit the lake on a Wednesday? Members turn out, except in the most atrocious weather, and are pleased to “turn over the controls” to any interested spectator. ![]() 377 hulls [December 2022] have been purchased and they are to be found in all areas of New Zealand and as far afield as the USA, Australia, Canada, Germany and the UK. It is a one-design yacht and all hull shells, keels and trim weights are made from moulds officially approved by the Canterbury J Association with an identification number moulded into the hull. There are rules that, prohibit exotic materials, define a fixed minimum weight, strictly control dimensions in the three sizes of sail rigs. The yacht can be bought as a kit or in separate pieces and assembled as the budget allows. This also allows members handy at making small components to make many of the parts and keep the price down. All parts are available: hulls white polyester, keels, brass fittings, and computer-generated sails, winches and radio gear. If you cannot find the part you want we will find it or we can make it at reasonable costs.

Comments are closed. Advertisement©Copyright 2012 modellers-workshop at Whitefriars Sailing Club J class boatsIn 2020 we saw an interesting development with one semi scale 48inch Nottingham J class appear and sail regularly. Since then there have been some interesting discussions around the J class RC boats. In late 2020 an enterprising group of 5 club members decided to build 5 Lionheart J class 60 inch models and while it is a long term project for all of the builders at least 3 boats are within a few months of being on the water. As well we have just learnt that there are 5 new 48 inch Nottingham J class boats in build or on order. To date we know of 6 Nottingham 48s, 5 Lionheart 60 inch, plus a couple of historic boats including K class. ![]() Yachting World

Toby Hodges profiles the world's most beautiful fleet of classic racing yachts – the J Class Shamrock V – JK3![]() J Class yacht Shamrock sailplan LOA: 36.50m /119ft 9in · LWL: 26.7m/87ft 7in · Beam: 6.00m/19ft 8in · Disp: 166 tonnes Original lines: Charles E Nicholson Modified design: Dykstra Naval Architects Launch year and yard: 1930, Camper & Nicholsons Identifying features: The only wooden J and the smallest. Dark green hull with bronze deck fittings. Current state: She has just had a refit in Palma after a long period under her past owner chartering, cruising and occasional racing. Race prediction:Her smaller size means she will struggle against the other J Class yachts in real time – but she has the most experienced skipper and her recent mods are all aimed at making her competitive on handicap. Skipper: Simon Lacey · Race Helmsman: Mike ‘Moose’ Sanderson ![]() Photo: J Class Association / Gerhard Standop Velsheda – JK7![]() J Class yacht Velsheda sailplan LOA: 39.25m/128ft 9in · LWL: 27.8m/91ft 3in · Beam: 6.57m/21ft 7in · Disp: 180 tonnes Launch year and yard: 1933, Camper & Nicholsons. Rebuilt by Southampton Yacht Services in 1997. Identifying features: Dark blue hull, pinched transom and that iconic sharp J bow. Current state: Continually optimised and very well prepared. Race prediction: Highly experienced, well-gelled crew and a yacht that is looking particularly nimble and aggressive at the start. Despite surrendering size to the modern J Class yachts she’s a firm favourite to win any regatta.

Current state: Sold in 2015 by Chris Gongriep, the former owner of Holland Jachtbouw, she has since solely been used for cruising by her US owner who shows no signs of wanting to race, although she will be in Bermuda to watch. Race prediction: Was cruised and raced extensively for a couple of seasons after she was built and has proven to be a supremely fast boat for her size in the right hands.

Current state: Her weight and stability were optimised at Newport Shipyard in 2016 and she was also fitted with a new mast and rigging, plus a new furling headstay. Race prediction: With her same core Comanche/Puma crew and Ken Read on the wheel, this is a highly race-oriented J Class yacht.

Current state: New and raring to go. Race prediction: With her fuller volume forward, longer waterline and shorter keel, Hoek believes she will be the fastest J Class downwind and in light airs. The crew has practised hard since last year and now has top big boat helm in Holmberg.

Current state: Just launched. Race prediction: Tore Holm was a gifted Metre designer and Svea looks like a fast upwind boat, with a race oriented deck design and a slippery underwater shape. It’s asking a lot of her crew to be competitive for 2017. Skipper: Paul ‘PK’ Kelly Race helmsman: Owner driver Nine Js and counting: J Class Svea J-S1 is sold and under construction at Vitters The history of the J-ClassThe Js are inextricably linked with the America’s Cup as, barring Velsheda , all were built for the purpose of America’s Cup racing. From 1929 to 1937, 20 J Class yachts were designed. Ten of these went on to be built, with six racing in the America’s Cup finals. A modern J Class yacht’s lines can only be taken from the original designs, ensuring the fleet’s look endures.

Model RangeThe J Class model range consists of two J Class hulls, the Nottingham 48 and the Nottingham 60, each of which can be built to carry either bermuda rigs, gaff rigs and coming shortly a genoa rig. In addition I'm nearing the end of the development of the International Dragon, a little under 60 inches and designed from outset to carry a genoa rig. The Canterbury version of the 48 is still available for those who want to race abroad and I've also included on this website details of the Folkboat project. The Nottingham 48 and the Nottingham 60 are supplied in "kit" form for the customer to build. The hulls are of very high quality and constructed using traditional fibreglass techniques with pigmented gelcoat to achieve the colour scheme choice of the customer. The kit includes the hull, rudder, ballast (for the 48), internal woodwork with stand, deck and hatches The Canterbury J is only available in White as the hull will need to be filled and painted when the ballast is fitted however the ballast and woodwork are the same as the Nottingham. In a spirit of honesty I would have to declare that whilst this moulding is from a Canterbury Association approved mould the quality of the moulding is only fair compared with the high quality Nottingham mouldings. The quality is however less relevant as the hull will need to filled and painted anyway The International Dragon is a new project. This model may become available as a kit but initially is available as a Ready to Run, with the customer only providing the radio. This model is built and engineered to the highest standards and will incorporate improved design features that are not generally found in model yachts...some day all models will be built this way!! I'm introducing the Folkboat on this site on behalf of a chum, Charles Chambers. The hulls are laminated by ourselves and the model is available from Charles as a Ready to Run. If you click on the arrow on the menu you will be able to open up more detail. Frank Russell DesignR/c and model yacht design, plans, boats, sails.. I have been a designer of model and radio yachts since 1968. Boats been built from my plans now number in the hundreds both from both home and production builders. Many of my designs have won State and National Championships in Australia and overseas. New designs are added periodically and occasionally I do receive requests for specific designs. I also from time to time produce free plans. Most of my older plans Pre 2000 will eventually be available as PDF files of the original large format drawing. The plans are located here: A more complete list of my designs is here: Plans are normally drawn on A4 and A3 format. Sections and appendages are normally drawn full size, 1:1. Some fin and bulb drawings are drawn to be printed in two halves and joined after printing. Arrangement drawings are 1:5 and sometimes 1:4. Make sure when printing that the “Scaling” or “Fit to Page” option is turned off in your printer setup when you print. I also have the “Print Preview” turned on as well so I can check if the page size is correct. All drawings are in either A4 or A3 size paper. ![]() Each drawing has a 100mm scale which will allow you to see if the drawings are the correct size. The PDF drawings are usually emailed within a few hours of receiving your order from Paypal by email. DXF and DWG formats are available for most plans. Just ask and they also will be emailed. Printed Paper Plans are available and are printed from the same plan as the PDF. Please ask before ordering. There is usually an additional postage charge for Printed Paper Plans. LATEST PLANS:![]() The Erebus -10r shape is based on the Ellipsis IOM. The design has the same LCB and waterline as the P6.1, so Phoenix 6 sail plans can be transferred over to the new hull. The hull is more rounded and has more reserve buoyancy above the waterline which will give the hull more lift over waves. The bow profile also has been lifted slightly for the same reason. Hull balance should be excellent. The deck is flat for simplicity and the plans show the same inbuilt mast ram setup I have been using successfully on both my A Class and 6 Metre designs. Any P6 sail plans used may need to be slightly altered. The Erebus sail plans are similar to the P6.1 but have been modified to suit the new deck design. LOA 1650mm LWL 1200mm BOA 175mm 4.0kg ballast displacement 5.8kg Draught 630mm After payment is made. I will email you the pdf file. Plan has A3, A4 sheets and a larger sheet with sections designed for laser cutting. A printed paper plan can be supplied, postage extra. Ellipsis M Version 2a Marblehead 2018-2024: This design is based on the successful Ellipsis IOM concept, as is the second of two sailing prototypes for the Equation M design. Of the 3 designs produced, this is favourite and was the only hull created by cutting the Ellipsis IOM in half and adding 128mm to the middle section and then re-fairing. The hull was then rescaled to the needed size and shape. After payment is made. I will email you the pdf file. If you require another format: DXF, or DWG, 2D or printed paper plan, postage extra. ![]() Equation Marblehead 2019: This design is based on the successful Ellipsis IOM concept, that of correct volume distribution rather than fashionable features with the emphasis on simplicity This design is the result of two Sailing Marblehead prototypes, The Ellipsis 1c and Ellipsis 2a. If you require another format: DXF, or DWG, 2D or printed paper plan, postage extra. ![]() Paperclip Mk3 IOM 2024 The hard chine version of the Ellipsis and Equinox IOM’s. It is intended to be built “Tape and Glue” from 1mm plywood sheets.
