Glen L 13
Description
The Glen-L 13, a spirited 13-foot stitch-and-glue plywood daysailer designed by Glen L. Witt in the early 1960s and offered through Glen-L Marine Designs, stands as a timeless junior trainer, tender, or solo pocket cruiser—perfect for lakes, bays, or sheltered coastal waters where simplicity, portability, and fun reign supreme. Measuring 13 feet LOA with a 5-foot beam and 6-inch draft (daggerboard up; 2'6" down), it displaces just 175 pounds (no ballast—crew weight provides stability), making it car-toppable, trailerable behind a bike, or stowable in a garage corner.

Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them.
