Here are some pictures of my recently completed Malahini. Working alone it took two years to complete.
I did all of the re-sawing of the planks. This took a good deal of the time spent. It is powered by a 1979 115 hp Mercury.
I can't say enough about how well it handles. It planes instantly and is stable in hard turns.
This is my second Glen-L and I hope it won't be the last! Thanks for the great plans!

Here is my story about building the Malahini.
For long time it was my wish to own a wooden boat like the Italian RIVA or a Swiss BOESCH boat. But as I am no super rich person it was out of question to have one.
4 years ago we moved to a house were I got the possibility to use a garage for building a boat. The size of the area (garage) and the point that we need a special exhaust emission standard for the Lake of Constance (it is nearly impossible to put an inboard in a self-made boat without spending a lot of money to get an allowance regarding emission standard. But this is swollen bureaucracy) were the guidelines for choosing the plan. So I decided to buy the Malahini plans.
After checking the plans and buying the first lumber I started in autumn 2006!

Malahini by Bill Whitney June 30, 2008 In case you are wondering what I'm doing with the Malahini plans, I was delayed all winter because of temperatures. Now, at last, I've been able to get back to work. We are not fortunate to have your weather except in July and August.

Malahini by Gerbrand Burger, Amsterdam, The Netherlands October 7, 2008 I built a Malahini this spring/summer in Amsterdam, Holland. It all went very smooth and fast and the drawings were very good and clear.

Malahini by Fergal Butler, Dublin, Ireland 9 November, 2009 This is my Malahini which I built over the last year since my dad "Sean" passed away. She is called "Seán-nós" meaning "old style" and after him. Seán-nós was a joy to build and a great escape for me. I have to thank you for the great plans and help all through my build. I launched her last week and it was more than I hoped for - one of the greatest days of my life. I still have a smile from ear-to-ear.

Thanks for your great set of plans. I received them last year in the fall and was able to get the frames done before winter set in. Started back in the spring with the bending of the sheer and chine; had to resaw the spruce as they broke on me twice so I bent one at a time and laminated together to make one, which worked out good.

Here are some photos of the Malahini I have built for my brother Doug, maybe you could put them in your customer photo section. The boat as photographed has been in use for a year now.

G'day, I bought your plans for the Malahini on the 01 April 2006 and have completed the framework and I'm just about to put the planking on. Attatched are a few photos of the build so far.
I've used Hoop Pine for all frames, chine, sheer and battens. All the gussets, the stem and transom are made from Pacific Maple Marine Plywood.
As you can see by some of the pictures, I'm making this boat in one side of a double garage. As you can see it doesn't leave much room for working around the boat. The sheer and chine was interesting to put on due to the lack of space. It will be interesting to see how I go with the planking.

Greetings, Attached are some photos of my Malahini project as of 9/26/04. I started working on the project in August 03 starting with your frame kit. I would definitely recommend the kit since it is very accurate and save lots of time. Turning the boat over was nerve-wracking, but ended up being very simple with the proper preparation (1x3 temporary bracing across all of the frames, a set of five old tires and two helpers). Next will be the transom motor/well, the flooring and possibly framing the front deck before calling it a season. I haven't finalized on the motor yet, but am leaning towards a 40 HP Evinrude E-tec. If all goes well, we may be in the water by Spring!

Malahini by Rodel Faustino, Cavite City, Philippines April 21, 2009 After receiving plans 2 years ago, I started cutting and assembling frames in January, 2009, and placed in forms by 30 of March 2009. I nailed temporary support of chines and sheer clamps, because I will be away for a while and leave the project fixed on the forms for the mean time. I plan to continue the project at the end of May.

I just started the Malahini and I wanted to send you a few pictures of my progress. I am building the boat at a local aquarium that has a boat building shop. Because this is the first time I have built a boat I started with the Glen-L Frame Kit which is very well made and gets the project up and running very quickly. I will send more photos as the project progresses. I am hoping to have the boat in the water by June.
Best regards, Lee Milazzo Stamford, CT

Hi, I don't know if you can post these, but here are some photos of the boat I've been working on. I'm actually ready to flip the hull and start working on the interior.
Thanks. Tom Lynch
