Ilur
Designed by François Vivier
Ilur is François Vivier's best-selling plan, a 4.44 m sail and oar boat with a 1.70 m beam that followed Aber as a larger boat for family day sailing, fishing and some coastal cruising. She is only 20 cm longer than Aber but wider and higher, with generous freeboard, and the designer says she is mainly intended for sailing, with the oars used when the wind drops.
Two plans exist. The classic Ilur is built in clinker plywood or strip planking over laminated or steam-bent frames. The clinker-kit Ilur, drawn in 2012, keeps the same hull shape and rigs but is built from a CNC-cut plywood kit with 9 mm planking and plywood frames, which the designer says cuts building time by about a quarter and gives a lighter boat. Rig choices include the simple Breton lug, a lug sloop, a balanced lug and a lug yawl.
What building a Ilur actually takes
Medians from the build logs kept on this site, not the designer’s estimate. Nobody has logged this boat here yet, so they are empty until the first builder does.
Those medians firm up as more people log this boat.
