Svea was originally designed by Sweden’s Tore Holm in the 1930s. Holm was known at the time for his classic designs of various Meter-class yachts, many of which are still sailing today. With the end of the era of the large J-Class yachts Svea was never built. However, her lines are spectacular and she is expected to be very fast upwind.

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.
