  • Study plans are extracts from the plans allowing the buyer to have a more precise knowledge of the plan content. If you are ordering the building plan, you do not need to order the study plan.
  • The study plan of Ilur is common for all versions, “classic” or “clinker-kit”.
  • The Building plan is the basic document to build the boat. It includes a free telephone or e-mail assistance.
  • This boat may be built from the building plan only but, in order to ease construction, you may also buy full size patterns.
  • Postage and VAT, if applicable, are included in the shown prices.

Ilur was designed after Aber, in order to get a larger boat, able to family day sailing. She can be used for fishing and even coastal cruising. Three Ilur have been to Ile of Sein, at the extreme West of France, one of the worst place to go with tremendous tides and the worst sea conditions. However, do not consider this as an invitation to go there! The length was increased by 20 cm only, but Ilur is mostly wider and higher, with a generous freeboard. This makes a very different boat, with good seakeeping ability, but still in the “sail and oar” spirit. Its superior quality makes Ilur my best-seller plan (with nearly one thousand copies sold). It has been built in many places, from the very heart of Alps, to Pacific islands!
If you have to choose the best boat for your intended use, just notice than Ilur is not as an easygoing rowing boat compared to others of my sail and oar designs. She is mainly intended for sailing, oars being used when the wind is falling or to reach some narrow inlets. However, the clinker version is lighter and rows well.
The dagger-board was initially preferred in order to give room for the crew. It is now replaced by a pivoting centreboard and a low centreboard case which is not at all cumbersome. Many other improvements are continuously brought. As an example oars may be stowed under the floorboard, leaving a free cockpit when sailing.
Ilur was designed at first with the simple lug sail in the Breton style (said “misainier” rig). A lug sloop rig is now proposed and is a valuable option. A balanced lug rig (lug sail with boom) is an other option, interesting for river or single-handed sailing. More recently, I have added a very attractive lug yawl rig.
Construction is either strip planked or plywood clinker. In both cases, laminated or steam bent frames give a very traditional and beautiful looking. However, very detailed plans and instruction booklet allow construction by any home builder. Full-size patterns may be purchased in addition to the building plan to make construction easier.

    Oui, il est possible de construire l’Ilur en construction traditionnelle à clin ou même à franc-bord. Un petit addendum existe pour la version clin. Chêne et mélèze sont en effet tout à fait appropriés pour une telle construction. Une dizaine d’Ilur ont été construits de cette façon, dont plusieurs par l’école de charpente navale Skol ar Mor.

    Bon jour, je pense de constuir un Ilur en clin et m’interesse d’acheter un plan . Pouvez-vous repondre quelques questions s’il vous plaît? Existe-il un plan pour faire en bois massiv? Et est-ce qu’il opportun de prendre un bois native comme chêne ou mélèze? Excusez-moi mon français. Cordialement

    Pour cela il faut vous adresser à un chantier, en particulier en France au chantier Grand-Largue qui peut construire un Ilur à clin de CP.
    Les fournisseurs proposent aujourd’hui des résines époxy qui peuvent être mises en œuvre à des températures jusqu’à 10° voire en-dessous pour les collages. Il existe aussi des alternatives, comme la colle PPU ou les mastic-colle polyuréthanne.

    Bonjour. Pour de multiples raisons dont en particulier les conditions météo locales pour travailler la résine époxy, je souhaiterais connaître le prix “clés en main” de la version clins, CP, misainier, sans baume, dérive sabre. Utilisation envisagee : randonnée nautique.
    Dans l’attente de votre repinse, veuillez agréer l’expression de mes remerciements anticipés.
