Glen-L 17 built by Albert Polisano


Sailboats embody the mystery of the sea, of going only where the wind is willing to take you. We offer a variety of sailboat sizes, using several construction techniques. Access information and photos from the index below.

  • For those interested in one-off fiberglass, the Foamee and Feather were designed to give you a chance to get your feet wet before tackling a larger project. See "Boatbuilding Methods/Fiberglass" from the main menu for more information on these procedures. The Feather is shown in the C-Flex pictorial, the Foamee in the foam-core pictorial.
