I haven’t been able to find any pictures of Cheveyo that are free and usable. I am looking forward to hearing from someone that has something I can use.

Cheveyo is a brand new Sparkman and Stephens project based on the 77-B version of Ranger. During tank testing in 1936, 77-C was chosen as the design for Ranger but in current tank testing, and through computer modelling, 77-B is expected to be faster in the more rounded conditions found in the Maxi circuit today.

Some more specifications:

• Year Built: Under Construction
• Builder: Spirit Yachts, UK
• Designer: Sparkman and Stephens from Burgess and Stephens 77-B drawings
• original owner: N/Aa
• Yacht Club: N/A
• LOA: 139 feet
• LWL: 86 feet eleven inches
• Beam: 21 feet
• Draught: 15 feet
• Displacement: 196 tons
• Sail Area: 8,290 square feet

Cheveyo is a new project for Sparkman and Stephens

Our kit number MW111 comes with:

• the laser-cut elements to build the hull
• a laser-cut deck with correct openings for winches
• laser-cut deck houses
• a T-rail structure to ease alignment

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

For a blog entry on the construction of a J-Class model, please click here.

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 Currently, we have plenty of information about the construction of this model. We also have many pictures of models as well as pictures of the real boat. This material will be made available to you if you decide to build this wonderful model.

Thanks for looking!
