Tempest
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 27 ft flying-bridge cabin cruiser from Glen-L Marine that gives half the boat to outdoor living: a deep self-draining cockpit, an outdoor dining lounge that converts to a berth, and still an owner's stateroom, enclosed head with shower, dinette and galley below. Deep-vee hull cold-molded in plywood strips or veneers over sawn frames, or one-off fiberglass; stern-mounted I/O or vee-drive power.
Cold molding a 27 ft deep-vee hull is many hours of strip work. Budget 2,000 to 3,500 hours. Measured medians from logged builds appear below.
What building a Tempest 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.
