Hull type: Vee bottom, hard chine hull developed for
sheet plywood planking.
Power: Single or twin short shaft outboard motors.
Long shaft motors can be used if transom modified.
Optional (not detailed) stern mounted inboard motor to
700 lbs. connected to an outdrive.
Can the hull be extended or shortened? Yes. Up to 10%
by re-spacing the frames from the aft end of the stem
to the transom a proportional amount. We do not
recommend increasing the beam.
Trailer: Designed for use with Glen-L Series 3800 boat
trailer plans.

The VERA CRUISE is a complete cruiser that can sleep three
adults. Her bright, airy cabin has a dinette, galley, and even
an enclosed head and hanging locker. The galley provides space
for a sink, stove, and ice box. A hatch in the foredeck next to
the rope locker simplifies handling the lines during docking,
increases air circulation and will quickly become a favorite
observation post. The cockpit provides plenty of room for
diving, fishing, or just plain lounging; all this in just
21'.
For simplicity of construction, her hull was designed for sheet
plywood with the bottom flowing from a generous vee forward to a
slight vee at the transom. Power can be provided by single or
twin outboards, or an optional inboard with stern drive.
Although VERA CRUISE looks like her larger sisters, her small
size makes it practical to trailer her almost anywhere. Whether
cruising or camping, the VERA CRUISE is an ideal boat for
getting the family together on the water.
