Twin rudders centerboarder essential technical choices for blue water cruising Olivier Racoupeau's perspective [Episode 2/5]

‍

On board a blue water yacht, every design decision counts. This instructional video addresses two fundamental elements of Allures' DNA:

• The centerboarder, which not only allows access to remote anchorages, but above all enables the boat to dodge certain waves by deliberately skidding, avoiding the dreaded tripping effect caused by fixed keels.
• The twin rudders, now widely adopted on modern sailboats, for its smooth steering, efficiency under autopilot, and safety in strong winds or when luffing up.

These choices, once reserved for ocean racing, are standard features on Allure boats because they meet the specific requirements of our sailors: to set sail far away, for long periods of time, and with complete confidence.
