Bull's Eye
Designed by Glen-L Marine
An 11 ft stitch-and-glue skiff from Glen-L Marine for oars, a 3 hp outboard or sail, with three rig options on the same plans: a free-standing cat rig, a stayed sloop, or a traditional sprit rig with wooden spars that stow in the boat. The planking is cut from standard sheets, assembled flat and folded into a vee-bottomed hull with rounded forward sections; over 25 full-size patterns. Glen-L publish a beam of 4 ft 5 in.
They put the usual load at 2 people. The hull is a sheet plywood for FAST-G Stitch and Glue construction. The hull is folded together to form a vee bottom with rounded forward sections. For power they specify short-shaft outboard motor to 3 hp. They draw a matching trailer for her. Glen-L calls it an ideal first project, and the Fast-G stitch-and-glue method is the easiest in the catalog. Allow 50 to 100 hours plus rig. Real build times from logs kept here are below.
