Glen-L Marine Designs

Glen-L Marine is a U.S.-owned and operated provider of boat plans, patterns, and supplies for amateur boatbuilders. Established in 1953, the company offers more than 300 designs, serving builders interested in creating a wide range of craft and related projects. Its plans cover powerboats, sailboats, human-powered boats, cruisers, workboats, houseboats, boat trailers, RVs, and other designs. Featured examples include the Sabotina, Amigo, Driftboat, Squirt, Barrelback, and Tubby Tug.

To support customers through the building process, Glen-L also sells boat kits, hardware kits, and boatbuilding supplies. Its products include epoxy and related materials, fiberglass fabrics and tape, paint, varnish, sealants, fasteners, steering components, sailboat hardware, and tools, including Raptor fastenings and tools. The site also provides books, manuals, DVDs, audio resources, and children’s boat books, alongside building guidance, technical information, and a boatbuilders’ forum. Glen-L states that its plans come with a 30-day money-back guarantee and offers international shipping. The company presents building a boat as a rewarding alternative that may cost less than purchasing a factory-built vessel.
