Glen-L 19
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 19 ft 3 in trailerable pocket cruiser from Glen-L Marine that sleeps four, with a compact galley and head. The steel-plate centerboard and internal ballast leave the cabin free of a trunk, which is unusual at this size. Three-eighths plywood, about 600 lb, an outboard to 10 hp on a bracket, and small enough to build and store in a garage. Glen-L publish a beam of 7 ft 9 in and a draft of 20 in.
They put the usual load at 2 to 4 people. She floats on a waterline of 16 ft 8 in. Sail area is Main - 82 sq ft. Displacement is 1900 lb. Headroom below is 3'-7 1/2". The hull is a vee bottom with sheet steel centerboard and internal ballast keel, developed for 3/8" sheet plywood. They draw a matching trailer for her. A committed amateur project but not a hard one: plywood over frames from full-size patterns. Budget 500 to 800 hours over one to three years. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.

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.
