Ileola's design was
very innovative; it was based on three point holding, that guaranteed the
flexibility required for seaworthiness, and carried the first balanced rudder
ever launched.
The boat has been designed to cruise the oceans, and to be
driven by 1 person on watch, all sails are easy to handle and that allows
you to participate in the sailing experience.
Her design offers a
great living area, with the option of single or double beds in private and
semi-private cabins. A huge saloon and large comfortable deck space.
Added to all that history is the stunning menu and magnificent presentation of the food. After an appetizer to enjoy with your drinks in the cockpit, your evening food, freshly prepared in the galley is served in the magnificent saloon. Ileola is ready to give you the memories of a lifetime.
