Save yourself weeks of work and get a precise frame set, designed right from the best plans.

Our kit number MW101 comes with:

• the laser-cut elements to build the hull
• a laser-cut deck with correct openings for winches – note that this is manufactured with laser-board, a light product that makes an excellent sub-deck.
• laser-cut deck houses – these have been redesigned in 2023 and include a more rounded look, making them more realistic.
• a T-rail structure to ease alignment and construction

Please note the kit does not include strip wood, ballast, spars, mast, rigging, or electronics.

Our kits are derived from the Book of America’s Cup yacht designs. Years ago people would use plans like these to make enlarged paper copies and then use those enlarged sheets to cut their own bulkheads and keels. This was extremely time consuming and was imperfect. Today’s modeller can get better results, and reduce his construction time considerably, by using digital media and computer-controlled machinery.

At Modeller’s Workshop, we start with paper plans and use various CAD software to transform the drawings into smooth 3D representations of the plans. Our process ensures you get smooth hulls, good symmetry, and, best of all, a boat that sails well.

Our hulls are designed to allow you to add ballast where necessary and the depths of the keels are tweaked for better handling. This J-Class sailboat hull is deepened by approximately two inches below the scale depth. This is in concordance with the rules of the official J-Class R/C website which can be found here
