Eureka
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 26 ft full-displacement workboat from Glen-L Marine in the style of the North Sea motor fishing vessels, with a whaleback foredeck, reverse-raked windshield, steadying sail and a transom stern that adds deck space. One-off fiberglass in C-Flex planking or foam sandwich; a 20 to 30 hp inboard gives about 6.5 knots; sleeps two; about 10,200 lb.
Sail area is 33 sq ft. Headroom below is 6'-3". The hull is a full displacement round bilge form with maximum hull speed of approx. 6 1/2 knots. Designed for "one-off" fiberglass construction using fiberglass planking or PVC foam sandwich core with fiberglass laminate. A heavy fiberglass hull to lay up and fair, then a working deck and cabin. Budget 2,000 to 3,000 hours. Real hours from logged builds are below.
What building a Eureka 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.
