Union Jack
Designed by Glen-L Marine
A 30 ft 11 in steel semi-displacement trawler yacht from Glen-L Marine in 10 gauge plate, running 7 to 8.5 knots on a 40 to 70 hp diesel with a half-inch steel skeg protecting the gear. Full walkaround decks with bulwark, a private forward stateroom, a head with shower, berths for five, and a choice of cruiser or transom stern. Glen-L publish a hull depth of 8 ft 3 in.
Displacement is 17,100 lb. Headroom below is 6'-2" to 6'-8". The hull is a semi-displacement hard chine developed for sheet steel (10 ga.) construction with practical speeds to 8 1/2 knots. Needs a welder, or a welded hull to finish. Expect 3,500 to 5,000 hours including the interior. Median hours from logged builds appear below.
