After some research i determined with some degree of certainty that this was once a kit boat from glen-l designs called the zip. </p><p> i began this project of invention and customization by removing and replacing about 95% of the wood.. The plans for the zip came from glen-l with a step-by-step instruction manual and full-sized patterns for the transom, frames, gussets, stem, breasthook, and knees. builders can shorten the boat by 10 percent if they reduce the frame spacing, but glen-l recommends against lengthening the zip.. Zip boat plans. zip design - boatbuilders site on glen-l.com10 august 2005 i recently completed my zip, after 7 months of spare time work and i could not be happier..
Interview of ted gauthier at the glen-l gathering of boatbuilders in guild, tennessee. ted built the glen-l zip design which is a 14'-4" plywood runabout and created a beautiful boat!. It is always a pleasure to talk and get help from the folks at glen-l: jimmy helms : my zip: great plans, patterns, and instructions. fun boat to build. great support from glen-l and the builders on the glen-l forum - roberta hegy, wi : great lines, rides great. straight-forward to build.. Building the zip - diary, notes & comments back to home page. (reed prince) screwdriver and ordered the fearson bits from glen-l. not sure if they land at the right place on the stem but the notches in the plans seem to encourage the wood to land where it lands..
