Boatbuilder Links in the UK
A list of just a few of the many boatbuilding resources in the UK.
The Classic Motor Boat Association of the UK has several Glen-L examples within its membership
Also I've seen one or two Glen-L designs turn up at the annual British Classic Motorboat Rally at Windermere.
NOTE: I am using products purchased through most of these companies (or have used over the years) but obviously, no guarantees. I have no commercial links with any of the companies listed other than as a customer.
Cheers,
Scott Pett
