Glen L 15
Description
The Glen-L 15, a nimble 15-foot stitch-and-glue plywood utility skiff designed by Glen L. Witt in the mid-1960s and offered through Glen-L Marine Designs, stands as a cornerstone of accessible, multi-purpose boatbuilding—ideal as a yacht tender, fishing platform, rowing pram, or light sailing dinghy for lakes, rivers, and protected coastal waters. Measuring 15 feet LOA with a 5-foot 6-inch beam and 6-inch draft (flat-bottomed with slight V-entry forward), it displaces just 250 pounds (no ballast), making it car-toppable, bike-towable, or easily trailered behind any vehicle.

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. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite. The information on this site is not guaranteed to be accurate.
