Anyone built one of these
Hi,
Just wondering, has anyone built one of these. A real one that is not a model. Its a Glen-L 21' Vera Cruise. Me and my dad have been pondering
over the plans...

I'd be looking for someting with a bit more 'V' in the mid and aft sections, unless you'll only be using it in protected lochs
with flat water.
Look for some Aus or NZ designs that may fit the bill. Or even a cat, with single engine mount if that's what you want.
Cheers,
Syd.

Cheers Syd,
I will look into that, as I haven't totally decided that's the one. The intention is to use it on locks and canal's for fishing,
going out to sea doesn't appeal, much to scary!! It also has to be tow-able, which really rules out a cat due to their width.
Scott.

thanks, I have Cad on my machine so thats handy. This would be our first full size boat (restored a wooden dingy before but I don't think that
counts!) so I need as much info as possible.
