14' Vivier Ilur (2021) - ARIES

My son and I have build this Ilur designed by Francois Vivier and launched it in 2021. She is named “Aries” after my grandfather and Esgers great grandfather “Arie” from who we inherit the love for wood working. The sail rig is a boomless standing lug sail called misainier. All parts are home made including the blocks, gudgeons and pintles and all other details. We made a website to share our building experiences for anyone who is interested in building a wooden sailboat themselves.. We just love to explore small creeks and lakes with her. On the big lakes in Friesland she has proven to be very sturdy and seaworthy.
