I also have some Glen-L 25 stuff for sale. Neighbours attending pool party complaining they need ear plugs because my jig saw is too loud. No more dream boat or start paying fines.

Selling the frames West marine epoxy glued and screwed. Centerboard trunk fiberglassed and assembled with frame 3 blocking and shaft fitted. All carriage bolt holes wood plugged and sanded smooth. 2 inch thick bed logs of Spanish Cedar. All stainless with bronze screws. Brazilian mahogany marine plywood all.

Transom parts cut but not assembled. Some wood also. Stem and breasthook assembled and ready. Have a few stainless screws.

Frames built from Spanish Cedar, lighter but with good E modulus so made 20% stronger using 1 3/4" material on all frames. About a month of off and on work, my cost $CDN3000 so will sell for $4000.

In Cambridge, Ontario, Canada.

You know, Stuart, when you sell the boat project, make sure that you then call the proper authorities when the neighbor's pool parties get too loud. And you KNOW they will!

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

Problem with my neighbours has been resolved. It's very true Dave, they asked for trouble and we found enough to keep them busy. Seems their fence in on our property, their pool is built on an easement and... need I say more.

As such, the Glen-L 25 is no longer for sale. Only have to fit the keel, battens and sheer before putting on the plywood so I am very close to finishing the hull. Took about a month.
