Lord Nelson

Designed by Glen-L Marine

A 33 ft 1 in long-distance cruising sailboat from Glen-L Marine with a fixed ballast keel and a modern layout: settees that convert to leeboard berths, a double at anchor, an L-shaped galley with gimballed range, a central engine under the table, and a utility head with shower. Cutter or sloop; cold-molded or one-off fiberglass.

A multi-year amateur project of the largest kind. Budget 3,500 to 5,500 hours over five to ten years. Real hours from logged builds show below.
