Glen-L 17

Designed by Glen-L Marine

A 17 ft 3 in minimum overnighter sloop from Glen-L Marine: two berths, space for a portable toilet, a masthead rig with all lines led aft for single-handing, and an outboard to 10 hp. Three-eighths plywood on a beamy vee-bottomed hull, about 475 lb.

The plans cover building forms, spars and rigging with step-by-step instructions, so an amateur with one smaller boat behind them will manage. Budget 350 to 600 hours, typically one to two seasons. Medians from build logs are below.
