Aber

Description

The Aber is a classic sail-and-oar boat designed by renowned French naval architect François Vivier in 1984-1985. Inspired by traditional Breton workboats from the early 20th century, it's a compact, versatile vessel ideal for solo or small crew (1-3 people) use, excelling in both rowing and sailing. Vivier himself considers it one of his favorite designs due to its simplicity, speed, and efficiency.

Custom sail calculations are not possible for this boat as no I, J, P and E dimensions are available.

Disclaimer. Boats are not all the same -- even when produced in the same factory of the same model. Sailrite does its best to publish accurate dimensions, but we often find it worthwhile to have our customers measure their boats carefully before we produce kits for them. You should take the same precautions, especially when the data is not from Sailrite.
