Glen-L
Well here it is, finally finished (nearly). This is my Alpha-II just after an easy row down the lake. I've fitted it with a pair of 9' oars from Shawn Tenney, and so happy with this combination, may never get to the sail rig. At 73 years old, I'm not usually in a hurry to get anywhere and rather enjoy the mild exercise of rowing this beautiful boat.
Sincerely

Here is the Glen-L "Alpha 2" sailboat that I finished in 2001. Build time was 6 months. Total cost was about $3,500.
I also built the wooden trailer from some old 1950s trailer plans (also from Glen-L). It works well and the odd thing is that it floats! which makes it a little weird at the boat launch.
I also made the sails from a Sailrite kit. www.sailrite.com
I'm very pleased with all of it. The boat sails very nicely, it also rows nicely. The construction is holding up well after 6 years and I still get comments every time I sail it!
I highly recommend it! Go to www.glen-l.com and buy the plans!
