The ILCA dinghy is the most popular boat in the world with more than 200,000 hulls in over 140 countries. One of the reasons it is so popular is the simplicity of the boat. The split mast and sleeved sail make the boat easy to rig, and its lightweight hull makes it easy to transport and load.

The class features three different rigs: the ILCA 4, 6 and 7. Not only is this boat enormously popular, it is also the single-handed Olympic class for men and women. Nautivela is one of 8 new builders with a global license for ILCA dinghies as of 2020.
