A modern,
high-performance hull

Allures sailboats are designed by Olivier Racoupeau, a world-renowned architect. The hull of this meters sailboat meters a clever balance between performance and comfort. Its composite deck, which is lighter—especially in the upper sections—enhances performance and improves stability. Easy to handle solo, the Allures 45.9 offshore sailboats Allures 45.9 daily averages of over 160 miles, significantly reducing travel times.

The Freedom and Stability of Centerboarder

Thanks to its shallow draft with the centerboard raised,Allures 45.9 access lagoons, shallow waters, and the most remote and tranquil beaches, as well as shallow sheltered areas in bad weather. When sailing downwind with the centerboard up, drag is reduced and the center of buoyancy is shifted aft, making the boat particularly smooth. Handling is more responsive. In breaking waves, thanks to the twin rudders and the raised centerboard, the boat glides through the waves without snagging, allowing for controlled downwind runs at high speed, even under autopilot.

Autonomy and
Easy Maintenance

With its 420-liter freshwater tanks, watermaker and 625-liter diesel tanks, the Allures 45.9 is a true blue water yacht, capable of sailing for long periods far from marinas, in complete independence. Hydrogenerator, solar panels, generator, energy autonomy is also ensured by a choice of equipment. All essential on-board systems - hull passages, fuel and water systems, electrical networks, technical equipment - are designed from the outset to be easily accessible, whether for routine checks, maintenance operations or one-off interventions at sea. Even the most remote areas are accessible for long periods.    

Easy to Maneuver
with a Small Crew

With its ergonomic deck layout, first-rate, generously dimensioned fittings, well-staggered sail plan and cockpit-based maneuvers, the Allures 45.9 has been designed for short-handed or solo operation.
FOCUS


45.9/S
The Sport version

With its bulbous lifting keel , the Allures 45.9 lowers its center of gravity for greater stability and efficiency. The result: nearly 2 tons lighter than the centerboarder version. The carbon mast and Rod rig further lighten the overall package, for optimized performance without compromising comfort at sea. With the keel raised, the Shallow draft retains access to the most unspoilt anchorages.
