I reckon SeaBee got it pretty close

a footy?

A sailboat that needs an rmg winch

gpzy, you are not realy that wrong. But the winch was about my Aero.

But lets unveil. When I got home today, this had been shoved onto my porch and than dragged by me into the house.

It is quiet impressiv, there is no way the pics realy show the size of this Bath Tub.
It is a J-boat, Ranger, 101 3/4 inches long and over 16 inches wide.
jeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee, what have I got myself into, but I love the challenge that this monster will present.
It will have to wait, because have no room to built it, jet.

In the Spring I will have my Wintergarten, which I am adding to my house at the present, far enough built that I can take her into the garden and start the built. I already planed were the workbench will be, all the outlets, lights and so on.

I am very much looking forward to this, the Garden Built.

Wow! That is over eight feet long. How tall will the mast be ? Post pics please !

I will, promiss. But it will take time till I start, so I aske for pacion. Its still below freezing outside and the Garden aint yet ready.
Mast over 9 feet, hihihihihihihihi.

I just have the hull, no plans or what ever, so I have to do a ton of research. But I allready have some great help John Hanks the AMYA sec. for the J-Boats.

Hihihi, I went into the future Wintergarden and measured, it will work out , Ranger fits perfectly into her future Dock

Wow!

Jo, that was my first reaction and than uff as in what did I do again.
Honestly I feel a little overhelmed, the size will take some geting used to it, I guess.
Its like going from a F350, to a F650, first overhelmed and than considering a 350 a midsize , done it.
Love the 650

Your going to need a trailer to get it to the pond.

Yes the mother in law would need a trailer to get to the pond

You guys and your mother in laws. My father told me as twen, if you ever get married, take a very good and long look at the Ladies Mother, because thats what she is going to be down the road..

Yes Millertime, I will have to built a trailer and naturally a cart to haul and launch that beast around and a construction stand.
All part of the built when I get started.
Probably March, than the Temps should get more plesant, the big shop has no heat and for some odd reason I do not enjoy metal work when it is between 20F - -30F( last week Tuedays low )

Schrott
here's a good example of a J Class cradle/launcher.......
