Last week my new boat was ready to take her out for her maiden sail. And what a joy!
It's an Ilur, a French design by Francois Vivier. I built the Classique version, the original design with steam bent frames, riveted to the hull. I choose the sloop rig version over the standing lug rig, to be able to sail a little more windward. Take a look for an impression of Nomvula ('After the Rain') sailing the lakes and canals of Friesland.
