Expertise forged by experience
The construction of an aluminium hull Allures Yachting on a proven process that combines precision, rigor, and the transmission of skills.
On a special piece of equipment called a table, the boilermakers first assemble the vertical structural elements: the bow, the watertight bulkheads, and the frames.
The horizontal stringers are then welded to the frames to form the complete skeleton of the hull. This structural phase determines the strength, geometry, and future behavior of the sailboat.
The next step—plating—will consist of installing the formed aluminum plates, which will be welded progressively onto the structure, starting with the bottom of the hull.

The art of shaped aluminum shells
Allures Yachting hulls Allures Yachting shaped without a pronounced bilge. This is a technical and aesthetic choice that guarantees:
- An elegant line on the water
- Milder marine behavior
- Better performance
This specific know-how is based on the expertise of the metalworking teams. It is passed on within the shipyard through a system of apprenticeship, promoting the profession and ensuring correct, precise, and controlled movements at every stage.

The hull has now been smoothed. Over the coming weeks, the metal hull will take shape, plate by plate, until the final lines of the boat are revealed.
