Tango-ing since 2003 |
| I launched my Tango in 2003 and have sailed her every season since. She lives on a trailer at Ghost Lake, Alberta but I have trailored her to B.C.s Gulf Islands about a dozen times, and sailed her to the San Juan islands once. She handles both the lake and ocean with ease - even big wind/waves and is a very safe feeling boat.
I built the cabin full width instead of the plan-drawn trunk cabin and the payoff has been tremendous. The cabin feels HUGE inside and the cabin top is very easy to walk on when going forward. She sails well and is very comfortable with the enlarged cabin for 2-3 weeks at a stretch. Thanks, Glen-L! |

TANGO- Second Wind, built by Ed Vernon |
| I searched the web for the right boat for a couple of years. There are other plans similar to the TANGO out there, but there is no other website as helpful as the Glen-L website. I started building in April of 2002 and launched my TANGO in April of 2005. This boat was mostly built on weekends with an occaisional week at one time. I have been sailing Second Wind since that launch and continue to do so. I have made many additions and changes since launch. I added a pushpit/pullpit and life lines along with a roller furler, bimini, and a self tacking jib system. The wife and I still spend most weekends in the summer camping on our Second Wind. The V-berth is comfortable enough for four day weekends. My kids all still enjoy this boat even though they have all moved out. I retired this year 2010 so we expect to spend even more time on our TANGO this coming summer. Although I am a skilled craftsman with small woodwork projects I had never considered anything like this before. The website and those who built the TANGO before me are the major reasons for my success. I highly recommend this boat if you are looking for an easily trailerable, safe sailing, family boat. I would not trade this experience for anything. Order the study plans and see if this boat fits your needs. Happy sailing.
