Hooray my Glen-L squirt plans arrived yesterday!
There's a fair bit of generic information about boat building. For the Squirt in-particularly there is a 'Building the Glen-L Squirt' document and of course the plans.
The plans are huge!
I was expecting better quality paper and printing but it doesn't matter. They look like legitimate old-school blue prints which is cool.
The inspiration for deciding to boat build came from just wanting to have a long term, fun and rewarding hobby. I built a canoe at school, I have friends who do woodwork and I thought building a boat would be fun. I found the Glen-L squirt on line and initially I thought that is was way out of my league, however after stumbling across the Squirt again on the Glen-L website I was convinced that it was perhaps manageable. We'll see if it is.
My inspiration for the Squirt is Art Atkingson's "Work of Art". His blog is great.
My initial concept sketch is below.

Right now I have no idea how long it will take me to build it or if I will ever finish it. But I am pretty keen to get started.
