NOT AS DAUNTING A TASK AS YOU MIGHT IMAGINE !

Especially using the Plans with Full Size Paterns from GLEN of California. plus the freely available advice and guidance always available from me. CORDIAL INVITATION exists for anyhone to visit our waterside Boatyard, in MONKSTOWN CREEK, where I wil be only too happy to discuss every aspect of your project., and where you will almost certainly be able to see already completed GLEN L designs. Since building my first glen L. design back in 1967 which was a 15 ft Mini Cruiser called the "CRUISETTE" I have spent most of the last THIRTY FIVE YEARS invvolved in the building very successfully of thousands of these designs. Not only did my expertise derive from this aspect alone, I am also an accomplished sailor.

My first Sailboat was a Glen L. 17 back in the early 70's and later - the boat I enjoyed most of all was a GLEN L21CB, which we called "BEE-VEE" as a tribute to Bill Verity, who was a lone ATLANTIC single handed Sailor of much repute, and sadly now deceased, and from whom I learned an amazing amount of Boat lore. HE was indeed one of the very first tremendously adept expert old-school shipwrights who got a grip on what was then an entirely new method of Boatbuilding. The application of G.R.P. (Glass reinforced Plastics) using Polyester Resin_ WALLAH!.. the very first Fibreglass Boat. which heralded the concept of what we know to-day with many other advances and developments in between and especially the arrival of impermeable EPOXY resins.

THE VERY FIRST STEP is for you to chose a suitable design. and without further delay purchase from us the Plans with the Full Size Patterns. Indeed, even before making this decision, bear in mind that for a lot of the Glen L designs - Study Plan Brochures are available for nominal prices, and these give you much more information than you already have in our Book of Boat Designs, including lots of design drawings of various parts of your intended boat and as well contain a detailed and exact Bill of Materials, listing virtually every item of material you will require to build your very own boat., and enabing you to make that final decision to purchase the complete Plan Set. Once these are in your hands - YOU ARE STARTED, and the bug has bit!...., and rarely have I seen anyone fail to accomplish their intended project and it has been a great pleasure to witness the joy and satisfaction when that notable day arrives, and your boat is launched into the water for the first time.

It would take pages for me to acquaint you of the easy tasks in front of you, and indeed our "Book of Designs"is most complete and will give you all the information you require, but never hesitate to give me a ring. if |I can assist you in any way. Right now I have one customer wh op lives near Blarney and who is well advanced in the building of the "TANGO" (a drop keel 4 berth sloop) and yet another in Kinsale who is just about to start building the Aluminium version of the Double Eagle, there ius yet another "Double Eagle here in the yard - first launched over two years ago and which Timmy the intrepid builder, is forever improving, and with great satisfaction. Timmy an expert Diesel Engineer is Chairman of one of Cork Harbour's very active Sea Angling Clubs, and he is forever rejoicng the attribtes of his self built boat.
