I started this project on 3/1/2011 and completed it (mostly) on 8/20/2011. Glen-L has been great to work with and I would appreciate seeing my photos on your website. I believe I got more than I gave to Glen-L. I have sailed as far as 20mi on an outing and it sails very well. Coming out of the Ottawa river I hit a huge crosswind and was knocked down mast to the water and I only got a small amount of water in the boat that I sponged out. I am thoroughly enjoying sailing as I did building. Thank you, Jeff McKie

Here's the status of the GL 15 as of 1-12-01. Information for you other boat builders, and anyone else interested, she is now ready (finally) for the chines' to be installed. Keel, centerboard trunk and all frames are installed and secured.
She's still a loooooong way from complete but gettin' there.

I finished and launched "My Own Hands" in late September. Now that the ice and snow is here, I have put her safely away and have some time to send out pictures.
It was a challenging labor of love. There were times when I thought I had made too many mistakes to cover, that it would never float let alone sail. I was wrong. She sails beautifully--especially when I put a knowledgeable sailor at the helm!
Thanks for your support and the support of the Glen-L staff during the process.
Sincerely, Mike Flynn

Glen-L:
Exactly two years after receiving the plans in the mail, I launched "Margarete", a Glen-15. The 2 years includes demolishing and building a new garage, halfway through the project, as I decided my shop was too small. Your easy to follow plans and directions helped me feel like an old pro. The finished boat, and the response I get when showing her, are more rewarding than I could have ever imagined. The entire process has been a real confidence builder. When asked how long I worked on it, I reply zero hours; no work, all fun. She sails beautifully and was such a pleasure to build. Please add the attached photos to your Customer Photos section. I've got my eye on Lo Voltage next. Next, that is, after building a Kayak that I designed using the skills and confidence I gained building Margarete.
Thank You, Rich Dufresne Portland, Oregon

Glen-L 15 by Rob Edmondson, Rainier, Washington 31 July, 2009 I've been working on my Glen-L 15 for several years off and on. Mostly I've been working on it this year. It's a great design and we really love working on this boat. We've made some minor changes that suit us and make the boat ours. Other than that though, we've followed the plan.
