OCEAN-CRUISING ELEGANCE AND PERFORMANCE

‘The Allures 40.9 opens the door to ocean cruising. Fast, agile and comfortable, it will safely take you to your dream destinations.’

Stéphan Constance

Allures Yachting co-founder

ELEGANCE AND PERFORMANCE

Just like every Allures sailing yacht, the 40.9 was designed and developed to a high-quality standard. Special care has been given to both the design of this unit, thanks to the Berret-Racoupeau team, and also to how it has been built, thanks to the experience of the Allures Yachting shipyard and customer feedback. The result is a boat ready for ocean cruising and designed to get you to places you’d never have dreamed of going to – and a boat that will turn people’s heads when docked.

FEATURES OF THE 40.9

ALUMINIUM HULL

Tough and lightweight, aluminium is pliant without the risk of breaking. Strong and durable, this is the material of choice for ocean-cruising enthusiasts.

COMPOSITE DECK

A specific feature of Allures sailing yachts, the 40.9’s composite deck insulates the boat’s interior and keeps out extreme temperatures.

Firmly fixed to the aluminium hull, it helps control the weight of the boat and therefore improve its performance.

MARITIME CHARACTER

Allures’ core values give the 40.9 its maritime character. It’s a centreboarder that can sail anywhere; with its twin rudders and the shape of its hull, it is stable and agile under sail, while its swept spreader rig and sail plan allow it to reach top speeds and sail well upwind.

COMFORT AND DESIGN

The Allures 40.9 was launched after the 45.9 and, like its predecessor, it has a modern, smart and entirely practical interior. The level of comfort, both at sea and in harbour, helps you enjoy sailing experiences with full peace of mind.

SAFETY

The crew’s safety is always one of the main criteria when choosing an ocean-cruising sailing yacht. With its aluminium hull, its watertight forward bulkhead, its rigging led back to the cockpit and its two shock-proof rudders, the Allures 40.9 is a market leader among the 40-foot ocean-going vessels in this field.

Internal design

The Allures 40.9 is the centreboarder of choice for those who want to safely go that bit further without losing out on any living space. Its top-of-the-range interior layout has been thought out with a view to making life on board easier, within a well-lit and carefully crafted space. The saloon allows you to move around freely and easily; bathed in light, it gives you an outstanding view onto the sea. Isabelle Racoupeau has created a modern layout for the Allures 40.9, shown through light shades of colour, LED lighting and high-quality, hard-wearing materials such as stainless steel. The saloon and the cabins are both comfortable and bright, and their design offers a pleasant and friendly environment while still being practical at sea. The galley, with its drawer refrigerator and generous worktop space, is perfectly suited for practical use when sailing. The large amount of storage space makes it easy to store supplies for longer cruises. From the companionway to the forward cabin, the many handrails on board make it easy to move around at sea and while anchored.

External design

You will be amazed at how easy the Allure 40.9 is to use. You will be able to safely manoeuvre the boat from the cockpit with ease, thanks to the well-thought-out deck layout and the generously sized deck fittings. You will always be able to find the ideal position for steering using either one of the two steering wheels, and store all your equipment in the many lockers available on board, even the one found in the reinforced aluminium sugar scoop. But above all, you’ll be able to sleep very soundly knowing that you can rely on the impact-resistant aluminium hull on your Allures.
