Lovely, I wondered how thick you made the transom? I am building one currently. Cheers

Lovely boat! I'm looking a building something a bit smaller to teach my grandsons to sail, but so much of what you have done will apply to my own project. Thank you for posting the photos and video!

Fantastic Dinghy, great job!
I discovered ILUR with the YouTube videos filmed by Roger Barnes.
For now it remains a dream, perhaps one day I will try to build it too, I have no experience with wood, and above all an indoor place to work. Thanks for the photos and videos good wind
and greetings from Trieste, Italy.

Hi,

She is beautiful and I hope I can build one to a similar standard!

You show the planks being cut but I wonder how you marked them out? Did you do it by the traditional Spiling method or do they come with the template package from Francois?

For the planks you joined two full sheets but I wonder if I may cut into strips for each plank and then join boards of a narrow width? Of course it may produce more waste but will be more manageable.

Thank you for you most useful website, I am sure I will be referring to it time and time again.

Regards

Phil Pawsey

Fantastic job guys! Great skill and inventiveness and a beautiful result. I am in the process of building my own Ilur here in the UK, just waiting for it to warm up a bit.
