Glen-L Buckboard
Description
The Glen-L Buckboard is a compact, beginner-friendly sailing dinghy designed by Glen-L Marine, a renowned provider of amateur boat-building plans since the 1950s. It's marketed as an ideal "trainer" for novice sailors, emphasizing simplicity, affordability, and ease of construction. The design focuses on a stable, responsive sailboat that's fun for day sailing on small lakes or calm waters, with the added versatility to convert into a rowboat or low-speed powerboat.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. 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.
