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.

Our kit number MW111 comes with:

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

Please note the kit does not include strip wood, ballast, spars, mast, rigging, or electronics.  Please check out the planks we sell in our section on Building Materials. 

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 two inches beyond the scale draft in concordance with the rules of the AMYA J-Class R/C website which can be found here

Thanks for looking!
