Now to wrap up a few loose ends. The boat and all the parts I had left went to a local JROTC unit. I have worked and sailed with their leader a few times so I knew it would be in good hands. They have the facilities and time to finish it up. Hopefully they will have as good a time working on the boat as I did.

It was sad to have to give up on my project, but I realize that it served its purpose. It kept me busy and gave me something to work on. I learned a lot about wood working also. If I build another one, I will go for smaller and/or quicker construction time. I think I could build the Glen-L 15 in about 1/3 the time if I had to do it again. The experience makes the second one MUCH easier. Also, I would spend much less time staring at the wood and more time working. I found out that the slow and methodical, with the ability to correct on the fly, is a necessary skill in boat building.

I wish that I had taken a picture as she rolled around the corner on a flatbed.
