Class AB

A 10 ft 6 in racing runabout from Glen-L Marine drawn to the old APBA A and B classes, no longer active, in which straightaway runs over 60 and 70 mph were recorded. Monoplane bottom, flaring anti-trip sides, cut-away bow, minimal frontal area. Sheet plywood, about 110 lb; plans and patterns or a frame kit.

Simple, light and strong construction. Budget 120 to 220 hours. Real hours from logged builds show below.
