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 40.9 offshore sailboats achieve daily averages of over 150 miles, making the journey shorter.

Thanks to its shallow draft with the centerboard up, the Allures 40.9 can 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 gravity 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.

With its 330-liter freshwater tanks, watermaker, and 400-liter diesel tanks, the Allures 40.9 is blue water yacht true blue water yacht that can sail for long periods away from marinas in complete independence. Energy autonomy is also ensured by a choice of equipment, including a hydrogenerator, solar panels, and a generator. All essential onboard systems—through-hull fittings, fuel and water circuits, electrical networks, technical equipment—are designed from the outset to be easily accessible, whether for routine checks, maintenance, or occasional repairs at sea. The most remote regions are accessible for extended periods.    

With deck layout , generously sized, top-quality fittings, well-staggered sail plan, and cockpit-based controls, this 40-foot sailboat has been designed to be maneuvered by a small crew, and even easily by a single person.
