Ilderim

 

 

Designer: Tore Holm
Builder: Abrahamssen & Borjessan 1936
Rig: Bermudan sloop

LOA: 15.43m
LWL: 9.52m
Beam: 2.44m
Draft: 2.10m
Sail No: BEL 16
Owner: Marc Busschots

 

Ilderim was built in 1936 by the banker and industrialist, Marcus Wallenberg, Jnr., as Sweden’s Olympic Games challenger.

Designed by the famous metre-class architect, Tore Holm, Ilderim soon showed her pure breeding by finishing first overall in the Games which were held in Kiel in Germany. However, due to the unfortunate political circumstances of the time, she did not end up bringing home the medal.

She then embarked on a successful racing career, becoming a competitor to be reckoned with on the international racing circuit of the day. She most notably showed her colours in the Solent and on the Riveria.

The yacht then travelled around Scotland, Ireland and Brittany as “Christina of Cascais” until 1989, when she was bought by her present owner, Marc Busschots, who gave her back her original name and sailed her to Belgium.

Ilderim has since cruised and raced in France, Belgium, England and Holland, always arriving at events under her own sail. As she has accomodation for five, she sails from regatta to regatta in the style once depicted by Uffa Fox, about life aboard an 8 metre, as “ bringing to her Captain and Crew health and happiness”!
