Tango
Designed by Glen-L Marine
An 18 ft 6 in trailerable overnighter sloop from Glen-L Marine that looks bigger than it is: berths for four adults, sitting headroom, galley space each side and a portable head, on a stiff, beamy hard-chine hull in three-eighths plywood, about 600 lb.
Glen-L puts it well within reach of the average do-it-yourselfer, with full-size patterns and no lofting. Budget 450 to 750 hours, usually one to two years. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
What building a Tango actually takes
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.
