A minimum overnighter sloop rigged sail boat with generous beam...that's the GLEN-L 17. Sleeping facilities are provided for two with area for a portable toilet. The roomy cockpit provides plenty of space for a portable ice box and stove, with room left over for an auxiliary outboard motor and sail bin.
The GLEN-L 17 carries a modern masthead sloop rig. The standard working sails are large enough to provide a lively boat in ordinary winds. For running or top performance, the larger genoa can be used. The rigging is such that the halyards and sheets are within handy reach of the helmsman for single-handed sailing, if desired.
The large scale plans have been especially worked out for the amateur builder and include details on building forms, spars, rigging, and step-by-step instructions with material listing.
