Glen-L Two Plus as built by Kjetil Petersen

$Glen-L Two Plus as built by Kjetil Petersen Hello, Almost ready. Just some details inside cabin and other small things to fix.I haven\'t tried it at sea yet. But hope to make it the upcoming weekend. The grooves are filled with thickened epoxy with the addition of white epoxy color. I did it before sanding and staining. It was a challenge to stain without discoloring the white lines. Regards, Kjetil Petersen Norway$

$5-21-04 Hello Barry! I now have had it in the water. And I love it. Being a garage built boat, it really performs beautifully. Unlike deep vee hulls it planes out very quickly and has superb directional stability even at moderate speeds. I like boats like this, that can be cruised at about 15 knots. I dont know top speed yet. But a rough estimate is about 25 knots with my four stroke 60hp. The Two Plus is a very spacious boat for its size. I moved the bulkhead about a foot forward compared to plans. This gave some more space in the cockpit. I also installed a portapotti below the bench, inside cabin instead of the enclosed head that was detailed in the plans. Due to the mahogany laminations the hull is actually 15mm thick. I was concerned about the total weight. But boat with motor and all the other hardware is only 765 kg. Thank\'s to Glen-L for making it possible for amateurs to fulfill their dreams. I am 37 years old. And I first read about Glen-L and boatbuilding when I, as a kid, found some of my fathers old Popular Mechanics Magazines. They described how to build the Sea Knight and the Swish. I still have theese magazines. And the idea of building a boat myself has been around since then. Best regards Kjetil$
