Glen-L 11
Designed by Glen-L Marine
An 11 ft 2 in round-bottomed sailing dinghy from Glen-L Marine with an interchangeable cat or sloop rig on the same spar. The hull is a sandwich: cheap pine sawn into thin strips, bent over temporary forms, then glassed both sides into a one-piece shell. Light-air performance and rowing are both good because of the round bilge. Glen-L publish a beam of 4 ft 10 in and a draft of 2 ft 9 in.
They put the usual load at 2 people. Sail area is 74 sq ft. The hull is a round bottom sandwich core, fiberglass covered. For power they specify oars or short shaft outboard to 3 hp. They draw a matching trailer for her. A step up from sheet plywood, and a small-scale way to learn strip-and-glass work before a bigger boat. Budget 150 to 250 hours including fairing and the rig. Median hours from logged builds appear below.
