Ilur

Ilur was designed for family day sailing. She can be used for fishing and even coastal cruising and has generous freeboard. This makes a very versatile boat, with good seakeeping ability, but still in the “sail and oar” spirit. Its superior quality makes Ilur our second best selling Vivier design after the Morbic 12.

The Ilur is not as an easygoing rowing boat compared to other Vivier sail and oar designs. She is mainly intended for sail, oars being used when wind is falling or to reach narrow inlets.

She has a pivoting centerboard and a low centerboard case which is not at all cumbersome. Many other improvements are continuously brought. As an example oars may be stowed under floorboard, leaving a free cockpit when sailing.

Ilur was designed at first with the simple lug sail in the Breton style (said “misainier” rig). Since its introduction, other rigs have been added.  You will need to choose which rig you wish to use as there are differences in some of the kit parts.

A lug sloop rig.

A balanced lug rig (lug sail with boom) is an other option, very useful for river or single-handed sailing.

Construction is either strip planked or clinker ply. We have not yet provided a strip plank version, but this can be easily managed.
