Escapade
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 26 ft 2 in flying-bridge sportfishing cruiser from Glen-L Marine on a modified deep-vee hull with reverse-curve chines, so it planes at lower speed and does not roll like an extreme vee. Full-length berths for four, a complete galley, a big self-draining flush cockpit and a roomy bridge. Double-diagonal plywood bottom, sheet plywood sides; central inboard, vee drive or I/O.
A double-diagonal bottom means more planking hours than a sheet hull. Budget 1,500 to 2,500 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Escapade actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
