<p> December 2013 </p><p> Great project to get started in boat building and it can be done in your basement! </p>

<p> October 2013 </p><p> Here is a picture which I hope gives you some idea of how the wheels are bolted to the 2\" Mahogany frame of the boat\'s transom. </p><p> The small eyebolt located half way along the brown stained 2X4 lumber is for roping the boat to the vehicle should it be felt necessary to do so. In fact two ratchet tie-downs alone have proven sufficient for transporting Sabotina to and from the lake. </p>

<p> May 20, 2013 </p><p> It was a fun and easy build. I built the boat because I sailed one as a small boy in Michigan. </p><p> They are great handling little boats. She will be used as a mooring tender and to teach my kids how to sail. </p><p> Thanks for the nice plans and hardware. </p>

January 8, 2013<br /> Thought you might like to see a few photos of my Sabotina (Standard Version) finished in early September of 2012. We towed it behind a sailboat on a cruise to Catalina in late September, 1st MDR to Two-Harbors, then Avalon, back to Two-Harbors, and finally back to MDR. <br /><br /> It tows great, next time I hope to have a cover for it and the sail rig, dagger board and rudder finished. <br /><br /> It rowed great with my wife and I and dive gear for two (no tanks), no need to screw around with a motor, gas, etc.

May 3, 2018 Update - Two are done, two are very close, and the others are in various states behind. i've attached a photo of the one Adi (my daughter) and I built. October 2016 The Sabotina builds are coming along. One is almost done and four more are getting closer every day. Should have a fleet or 8 or 9 when all is said and done.

cant figure out to line up the bow & transom what is the key
Bobby, the drawing of the building form shows the location of the transom and bow and forms–these are all positioned with set-up levels matching and at the angles noted.
Is there any one in Alabama or Georgia who has built one would like to contact them for info
need all the help I can get
Is plans for this boat available?
Of course the plans for this Glen-L design are available. Just go to the Glen-L.com home page or just to the top of this page, hover your pointer over “Online Catalogs” and when the dropdown appears click on the “Boat Plans Catalog – 300 Boats You Can Build” link. Then you can find the Sabotina design in either the Alphabetic List or the “Sailboats” links.
Is drawing w/dimensions available for this boat and if so where can I get the plans for it?
Thanks, Emil
Great pics. I love this boat. And recently help a friend build Sabotina. I should organize some of my pics, and share them.
I like the idea of assembling the bow and stern transoms without the plywood attached in order to fit the stringers and then apply the plywood later. I think the Kreg jig may be useful to hold the frames together until the plywood is installed!
