It is elegant and seaworthy with its half-deck and varnished wood coamings. A steel pivoting centreboard (40 kg) provides stability and performance. She could be used as a day boat, in the style of old dinghies. You can sail alone, or with a crew of 3 and even 4. She is planked over plywood bulkheads, either with wooden strips or marine plywood lapstrakes. The lapstrake or clinker-built version is easier to build.<br \/>Launching and recovering from a trailer is effortless.<br \/>Hull shapes are the same as Ilur. Ilur is a reference sail and oars boat, with more than 1000 plans already sold. The first Beg-Meil, named Pepito, was launched in Carnac in July 2005. She was built by the amateur builder Benoit Brabant using a kit supplied by Icarai. See our photo album. Many others are sailing or under construction.<\/p><p>Karl Nelson is building a Beg-Meil and keeps a <a href=\"https:\/\/boat.karlnelson.net\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">very detailed blog<\/a>.<\/p><div class=\"pcl_tooltip_box\" style=\"display: none;\"><p>Image already added<\/p><div class=\"arrow border\">\u00a0<\/div><div class=\"arrow\">\u00a0<\/div><\/div><div class=\"pcl_global_mask\" style=\"display: none;\">\u00a0<\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"su-spoiler su-spoiler-style-fancy su-spoiler-icon-plus su-spoiler-closed\" data-scroll-offset=\"0\" data-anchor-in-url=\"no\"><div class=\"su-spoiler-title\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\"><span class=\"su-spoiler-icon\"><\/span>Help with ordering<\/div><div class=\"su-spoiler-content su-u-clearfix su-u-trim\"><div class=\"su-list\" style=\"margin-left:0px\"><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check\" style=\"color:#333\"><\/i> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.vivierboats.com\/en\/learn-more\/plans-patterns-and-kits\/study-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Study plans<\/a> are extracts from the plans allowing the buyer to have a more precise knowledge of the\u00a0plan content.\u00a0If you are ordering the building plan, you do not need to order the study plan.<\/li>\n<li><i class=\"sui sui-check\" style=\"color:#333\"><\/i> The\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.vivierboats.com\/en\/learn-more\/plans-patterns-and-kits\/boats-plans\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Building plan<\/a>\u00a0is the basic document to build the\u00a0boat.
