ALUMINUM SHELL
COMPOSITE BRIDGE
Allures Yachting, an innovative shipyard since its creation
The origins of Allures Yachting lie in the desire of two friends with a passion for sailing to offer the ideal blue water cruising yacht: safe, fast, comfortable and elegant. And they came up with the idea of combining a shaped aluminium hull and centerboarder with a composite deck. With one of the most brilliant architects of his generation, Olivier Racoupeau, they first designed the emblematic Allures 44. chart table with double seating, Workshop area accessible from both inside and cockpit, first refrigerators with drawers... The boat was packed with innovations and quickly became a success, followed by other 40- and 51-foot models. After 3 generations of yachts, a new page is now being written with the Allures Horizon 47, still designed by the same architect.
A unique concept
Combining a shaped aluminum hull with a composite deck
Safety and elegance
Solid, sturdy, durable and repairable, aluminum is the ideal material for a blue water cruising sailboat. It's also ideal for the centerboarder configuration, itself the most suitable for discovering the globe. Composite, on the other hand, allows for curves and elegance in design. Lightweight and insulated, the benefits are numerous. In short, an Allures is the best of both worlds: a true adventurer in the guise of an elegant cruiser-racer. Unique on the market.
Freedom
Sailboats to discover
the world in complete safety
Aluminium hull
Solid. Safe. Durable.
The strength of aluminum hulls makes them particularly suitable for blue water cruising. Durable and repairable, aluminum can be deformed in the event of impact, without tearing. In the most remote places, in the face of the harshest conditions, you and your crew will always be safe aboard an Allures.
Centerboarder
Total freedom of navigation
The centerboarder extends your zone of freedom, giving you access to shallow waters: beaches, lagoons, river entrances and sheltered areas. With the same stability requirements as a keelboat, it also offers far greater smoothness of movement, thanks to the virtual absence of downwind roll, even in heavy seas. Maneuvering and life on board are all the smoother and smoother. In very bad weather, raising the centerboard avoids the keel hook effect. This allows the boat to skid sideways, and - the ultimate safety feature - to remain maneuverable even in breaking seas.
Composite deck
Elegance, lightness and insulation
First and foremost, the composite deck gives them an elegance uncommon in true aluminum blue water cruising yachts. The roof is rounded and the cockpit offers comfortable curves. The sandwich-type deck directly incorporates insulation, providing protection against excessively high or low temperatures. Lighter than aluminum, it gives the boat less top weight, a lower center of gravity, greater stability and therefore enhanced performance.
Durability
80% recycled aluminum
The hulls of Allures sailboats are made from 80% recycled aluminum, which in turn can be recycled again. For the fittings, our woodwork comes from FSC forests, and the plywood is 100% made in France, reducing transport and recovering waste and energy.
Comfort
Sailboats for living,
around the world
Smooth, safe seakeeping
Architect Olivier Racoupeau has designed hulls that offer a skilful compromise between performance and comfort. Weights are centered to optimize seaworthiness and sailing comfort. Downwind, with the centerboard raised, drag is reduced and the center of the daggerboard is moved back, making the boat even smoother. In breaking waves, thanks to the two rudders and the raised centerboard, the boat glides through the wave, without hooking, thus controlling overspeed descent, even under autopilot.
On-board autonomy and easy maintenance
All Allures have large fuel and water capacities. Storage spaces, both inside and out, are voluminous and provide ample carrying capacity. Depending on your requirements, you can equip your boat with a variety of power generation systems. 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. This makes even the most remote regions accessible to you for long stays, in complete autonomy.
Warm, welcoming interiors, at sea and at anchor
On a long journey, interior comfort is also essential. On an Allures, volumes are generous and spaces well distributed. The layout is also designed with life at sea in mind, with numerous handrails ensuring safe, easy circulation. Glass surfaces are generous, views are unobstructed and interiors are bathed in light. Materials are selected for their quality, durability and aesthetic appeal, then meticulously assembled. Lighting is carefully designed, combining abundant natural light with LED strips to create a soothing ambience, day and night. Tinted woodwork, upholstery or hull color... each boat can be tastefully customized to reflect the personality of its owners.
