You also get to choose what is normally an observation lounge and lower helm station as your Grand Stateroom, should you so wish. The five bathrooms have black stone that looks great, but is not the easiest to work with.

This is something you get to recognise on every ILIAD, but perhaps here in the 70, by virtue of its scale, you cannot ignore it. We put in about 30 to 40% more labour to account for our client’s wishes”, said Elkington. It suits our capacity, and also allows for that important ILIAD ingredient, customisation. The moulds for the 60 are ready, but that line will run into 2021, after first one is delivered in 2020.” Everyone that has ordered now will get a boat by the end of 2020. Stage one of that site was always there to accommodate the ILIAD target of 25 vessels, as we go from one a month, both stages of that project will take us to 25 craft a year. “We can ramp up to meet demand now, and our contracted builder has a new facility that will come online for mid to late 2020. The project was focussed on the Asia Pacific region for our initial units, before we then took on global demand, and this is still the case.” “Our target was to be selling 12 vessels per annum in three year’s time, so to be nearly there after just four months is terrific. Our flagship 90 is still in the design phase, but it is coming along nicely.” Six of them are 50s, three are 60s, and then there are two of these 70s, one of which we are enjoying here today. “There have been 11 ILIADs sold since our launch back at Sanctuary Cove. On the latter element, I sat down to ask Mark Elkington about ILIAD’s success. Yet that does not do a lot to describe this, Hull #1 of the series, or the brand itself.

Add in the economy we’ve already mentioned, and full vinylester resin infused hulls utilising 80-100kg/m3 mat, and you could pretty much end this report right here. If ever there were an argument for buying a five million dollar passage-making vessel of stupendous proportions, then the ILIAD 70 would have to be it. At displacement speeds, the whole experience is completely effortless. Think Montserrat Caballe…Īs mentioned, the silent, long range running, along with the fully customisable solutions inside the existing hull and deck format, is really what the ILIAD brand has been built around.

She’s a vessel as effortless as she is imposing, rewarding as she is voluminous, and quite captivating, perhaps something akin to an opera singer. The mighty ILIAD 70 comes hot on the heels of her smaller sister, the ILIAD 50 that we reviewed in A boat of two hulls (and lives), just recently. One or two could even score a great spot right beside you. Should you have a cast of thousands on board, then at least half of them will be able to enjoy the bar, lounge, and conversation pit in close proximity to you. Of course, in more populated waters you’ll be helming from up on the flying bridge, with commanding views of all before you, and for that matter, all behind you as well. And alas that’s what the ILIAD premise is all about. At a more sprightly 10 knots or so, you’ll be burning just 30l/hr, and chewing up 240nm days, and still be looking at an overall range of over 2000nm before having to bunker once more and fill her 7,600 litre tanks. You even have a delightful lounge to port that will be the daybed par excellence as you go from here to there, with there being a long, long, long way off.

So what you do get, also immediately mind you, is a sense of just how magical a spot it will be for passage making, which is exactly its intended purpose. Best of all there is no stench from either petroleum based products, or far worse, expended rounds. She is not cramped, nor outrageously hot, and certainly not deafeningly noisy from the Honeywell gas turbine living there right with you in the same echo chamber. Now the fact that she certainly weighs into the same class as the 50-tonne tank is about where all the comparisons end. Equally, looking out aft is absolutely precluded, given where you are, perched up on a mezzanine deck at the for’ard end of the main saloon. You cannot see the bows, a term also used by tank commanders BTW, for the expansive coachhouse roof of what is the Owner’s Stateroom blocks them. By John Curnow, Editor, Ĭlearly there were distinct notions of the famous M1 Abrams, courtesy of the forward only vision out of the bridge through a ‘slot’ type arrangement, as it were.
