Hi Don, This was a scratch build using the original plans sourced from the Mystic Seaport Museum . Other options are laser cut frame kits or fiberglass. modellers-workshop.com/category/laser-cut-frames/ www.rcyachts.com/JClass.htm Read first amyajclass.com/building-a-j-class-model

This is Vanishing Pointe by Richard Meyer.

@@crownvalleytrans thanks!

Thanks, what state are you in?

Hi, each plank is ripped on a table saw then flexed into position while trimming each end and CA'ed or glued into place one at a time with black construction paper placed between each plank for a caulked look. The chain plates were fabricated. www.onlinemetals.com/ amyajclass.com/building-a-j-class-model

@@crownvalleytrans thank you very much for that information !

Hi Mike, I found this one on CL, but took a couple of years of searching. You can buy prebuilt or build yourself. Here's a few links. rcyachts.com/JClass.htm modellers-workshop.com/category/laser-cut-frames/ amyajclass.com/

Hi Alan, Do you want to build from scratch or a kit? Building from scratch is cheaper, but requires a lot more time. -ed

@@crownvalleytrans Hi, firstly thanks for taking the time to get back to me! I'd consider both, a kit would have to be a timber kit. On balance I'd prefer the scratch route, I don't have so much cash to throw around but I am patient, methodical and good with my hands. Would be super grateful for anything you can suggest!

Here's the frame kit to get started that I would recommend modellers-workshop.com/modellers-workshop-mw107-j-class-1937-ranger-116-scale-laser-cut-frame-set-total-length-102/ I can share a copy of Weetamoe's plans, but you'll be cutting out every rib individually from door skin material and would require a lot of man hours. Here's a build video of that process: czcams.com/video/i0luxQcGC6M/video.htmlsi=sd4g7K72Q-WgO6IB If your serious read this: amyajclass.com/building-a-j-class-model @@alannewman85

Yes, scratch build, but not me. czcams.com/video/i0luxQcGC6M/video.htmlsi=DTO_sCOSD5FS3Umh

3 speed Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. www.hemmings.com/stories/article/ford-o-matic-transmission

@crownvalleytrans thank you. I have a 55 here, the other guys are saying this cant be done, did they all have the same trans?

@@Juandongduck Hi Jr. Yes, all three years came from the factory with a Ford-O-Matic automatic transmission. I've used this method for thirty years and was taught this method from individuals that were performing the same process in the 60's.

Awesome! This is the route I am going to take. Thanks again.

Hi, Unfortunately my RC hobbies have been put on hold due to a forced relocation of my business, but I'll be back sailing soon.

@@crownvalleytrans Wishing you fair weather and hope to see you sailing again in Mason Park. Really enjoyed seeing your boat sail. Thanks

Hi Brandon, Great question! Options for both are available. This boat was built from scratch using plans from the original boat that was built in the 1930's, but at a reduced scale. czcams.com/video/i0luxQcGC6M/video.html Copies of J class sailboats can be found at maritime museum's. Or there's a laser cut frame kit option which will save a lot of time. modellers-workshop.com/category/laser-cut-frames/

Thank you! As for the music, CZcams's music library definitely leaves something to be desired.

I haven't been able to get my hands on a Santa Barbara yet, but looks like a fun boat to sail and more manageable than a J

@@crownvalleytrans Its to bad your in CA. I have teak planked SB that won awards at model shows. Hull #967 with Black sails that I haven't put in the water since 1985. Its on display in my house eversince.

I meant rosewood planked deck

@@63grandsport11 Pictures please and nice 63 vette!

@@crownvalleytrans You want pics of the SB right. Il have to take some.

Gracias

The tail shaft assembly is unbolted and slid back far enough to allow the case (middle part) to be dropped down and out/removed. Once the case is removed then and only then are you able to remove the tail shaft assembly.

@@crownvalleytrans Thanks

Hi Stan, If you're ready to invest 500-600 hours I have plans for this particular boat.

@@crownvalleytranswould it be possible to get the plans from you?? I really would love to build one!! Please! 🙏

@@TailEndCharlie-fi9gd Absolutely! Send me your email. Thanks, ed

Southern California @ Crown Valley Transmission

@@crownvalleytrans thank you sir. I don’t think that’s going to do us any good lol. We live in Ohio. But thanks for responding to my comment and trying to help

@@crownvalleytrans is there a way you could send me a step by step like they did in the video? It would be very helpful. I can’t find any other video that take the transmission out in two pieces

Unfortunately not. That's how I ended up running sailboats. I do miss my gas and nitro hair-raising go fast boats!

Chain plates and mast plate are fabricated by hand and as for the helm and binnacle (let the search begin) Link for brass stock below. www.mcmaster.com/

Yes, trace and cut every part. Approximately five hundred hours. Here's more videos, sorry for the quality. amyajclass.com/construction-videos

@@crownvalleytrans The videos are plenty fine, thank you! They are an excellent resource, as well. I had not seen the new J-class website before. That's really great. I will direct people that way because I do have requests for information. I am sure the site will help drive business. I will share it on my Facebook page, as well.

Sorry, my channel is a little convoluted. You are correct in that it is a older build. Here's the construction video you were inquiring about. czcams.com/video/i0luxQcGC6M/video.html

@@crownvalleytrans So a completely scratch build then? No digital files? Nicely done!
