BOAT BUILDERS: One-Stop Online Resource for the Amateur Backyard Boat Builder

For those who are contemplating building their own boat or are currently working on a project, GLEN-L marine designs in Bellflower, California has established the online resources you need.

At the online "Project Registry", you can register the GLEN-L design you are currently working on and what stage you are at in the construction process. For those of you looking to build one of GLEN-L's designs, you can contact the builder of the specific boat you are interested in and ask them questions. For other general help, check out the "Boatbuilder Connection" to leave online messages with other boatbuilders around the world. To view recent photographs posted by builders of GLEN-L designs, or to post your own, see the "Customer Photos" section-new photos are added every week! About every month or so, a WebLetter is added to the site with builder submitted stories, articles and various happenings and other information of interest. GLEN-L will even periodically send you an emailed update and notice of newsletters for free if you fill out the guest book.
