Alpha 2 by Robert Sanson, Saratoga Springs, New York

Here is the Glen-L "Alpha 2" sailboat that I
finished in 2001. Build time was 6 months. Total cost was
about $3,500.
I also built the wooden trailer from some old 1950s trailer
plans (also from Glen-L). It works well and the odd thing is
that it floats! which makes it a little weird at the boat
launch.
I also made the sails from a Sailrite kit. www.sailrite.com
I'm very pleased with all of it. The boat sails very
nicely, it also rows nicely. The construction is holding up
well after 6 years and I still get comments every time I sail
it!
I highly recommend it! Go to www.glen-l.com and buy the plans!
