L’Iliade has been designed by the well-known
French architect F. Camatte and built by the
Chantier de Normandie, Fécamp, France, in 1935.
Her lines plan are very similar of that from yachts designed in the same era by the famous designers like William Fife, Camper & Nicholsons and Sparkman & Stephans.
She has sailed extensively around the British and
French Coast, the Mediterranean and the Caribbean,
with at least 10 Atlantic crossings to her credit.
With an upwind sail area of 260 m2, and 450 m2
down wind she is a fast and comfortable yacht to cruise.
She has competed in many of the Mediterranean
Regattas with some overall winnings.
In 1999, L'Iliade was redesigned to outfit her for diving
as a -liveaboard- sailing yacht. Her oak hull, her teak deck, her teak superstructure, the
interior and her wooden masts haven been completely refitted in
2006.
While retaining all her classic female charms, L'Iliade is equipped with
all dive equipment to give you the best of both worlds!
