Up the River
A daysail on the River Goyen in West Brittany. Starting at the coastal community of Sainte Evette, we sail up the tidal river to the little town of Pont Croix, at the head of navigation, and then back down the channel with the ebb tide. My crew Suzanne Van Soest had never sailed on Avel Dro before, and you share her experiences as she learns to sail my traditionally-rigged, sail-and-oar dinghy for the first time.

AVEL DRO
Do you want a boat like mine?
Avel Dro is an Ilur designed by François Vivier, and built of clinker plywood by Les Charpentiers Reunis of Cancale in 1994. The design is based closely on the traditional inshore fishing boats of Brittany in the early years of the twentieth century, hence her single boom-less lugsail rig and lack of a mainsheet horse, (sometimes controversial among my viewers). Although rare in Britain, Ilurs are relatively common in France. The name Avel Dro is Breton, and means a shifting wind.
Length 4.44 m
Sail area 12.2 m²
Beam 1.70 m
Draught 0.25 / 0.86 m
Design category C3
