Canterbury J Class website

With Waihi weeded out and IOM's no longer able to sail there currently.

I needed to redirect my Waihi Project to plan B...

A smaller lighter J with very shallow draft so i can float over the weed just under the surface.

My 3d printer is currently configured to print 1060mm x 245mm x 215mm (for IOM's)

So these were my maximum parameters to try and sqeeze out a J Class type boat.

Bruce Mc has drawn up Rainbow which is 1200mm long.

I scaled her x, y & z to fit the maximum of the printable area of my 3d printer.

And hit go..

A quick light sand with 40 grit sandpaper and sanding block and the hull was ready for glassing.

3 layers of 200gram and she should be now be bulletproof...

Last night I printed a mast step. I going to fit her out with IOM rigs for starters and see if the works ?

I am bit worried if i can hit the center of ballance CLR of the hull on my first attempt ...

Bruce checked my new dimensions on delft ship and I should be about right with an IOM rig...

Shell now 900 grams with 3 layers of glass

Bruce's estimated displacement rigged is 3.5kg... IOM B rig ? (with A and C options if it works :)

Deck holes cut with Dremel and hacksaw blade

Mainsheet post glued in.

Photo below one of the deck cutouts shaped being glued in under fore deck for extra strength were fore stay wires will attach to spread the point loads

Fore stay strut, trim to length and fit then for stay rings made from bent stainless welding wire then glue in.

Stay tuned as she all comes together over the next week or two...
