J-Class Nationals, 2003

 

EC12 building and all related issues now have their own website, www.ec12.info.

 

 

The J-Class Shamrock V

 

This section will proceed through the building process of the Shamrock V J boat using the Kjamrock hull. This model is 89-3/4" long, a height of 17-3/8" from the keel to the sheer line and a beam of 15 inches. The project in building sail number 94 provided a completed boat at 79 pounds.

 

This is not a beginners boat and a new builder is expected to have model boat building experience. Nonetheless, this will be the first J class boat built here and documented accordingly as has all the boats in the past. This will be a photo essay.

 

The building project is completed.

 

Loading times are likely to be as long as the boat is large.
