Glen-L 6.9
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 22 ft 7 in trailerable sloop from Glen-L Marine built by one-off fiberglass methods, either C-Flex fiberglass planking or PVC foam sandwich, with a combined ballast keel and centerboard for shoal draft. Four berths, space for a head and galley, a big hanging locker and a self-draining cockpit; an outboard to 10 hp on a bracket. Glen-L publish a draft of 24 in.
The bare hull comes out at about 1500 lb. They put the usual load at 2 to 4 people. She floats on a waterline of 19 ft-4 1/2 in. Sail area is Main - 94 sq ft. Displacement is 3186 lb. Headroom below is 4'-8". The hull is a round bilge design with combination center/ballast keel unit. Designed for "one-off" fiberglass construction using fiberglass planking laminate or PVC foam sandwich core with fiberglass laminate. They draw a matching trailer for her. A serious project for an amateur who wants a fiberglass boat without a mold. One-off glass is not hard to learn but it is messy, and fairing a 23 ft round-bilge hull takes many hours. Budget 1,000 to 1,800 hours over two to four years. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
