Description
The Glen-L Sneak Box is a modern, plans-built adaptation of the classic Barnegat Bay Sneak Box, a historic wooden duck hunting boat from the 19th century used in the New Jersey marshes and coastal bays. Designed by Glen L. Witt, founder of Glen-L Marine, this version was introduced in the 1970s and remains available as a DIY project for amateur builders. Unlike traditional solid-wood Barnegat Bay models, the Glen-L design uses inexpensive sheet plywood for easy, affordable construction, resulting in a lightweight (115 lb.) vessel suitable for recreational sailing, rowing, or small outboard power. It's ideal for solo or small family use (1–2 people) in protected waters like marshes, lakes, or calm bays, emphasizing simplicity, portability, and fun. The sprit rig and daggerboard make it forgiving for beginners.
