The Allures 51.9 Among the Best Sailboats of 2025 According to SAIL Magazine

We are proud to announce that our Allures 51.9 has been selected among the 10 best boats of 2025 by the prestigious SAIL magazine, a true reference in the sailing world.

International Recognition

Each year, SAIL Magazine curates a selection of the best creations in the nautical industry. This highly anticipated ranking highlights sailboats that stand out for their design, technological innovation, and build quality.

The Allures 51.9 has distinguished itself with its remarkable performance and ability to take on long-distance voyages—qualities unanimously recognized by the magazine’s experts. As SAIL Magazine points out, this sailboat is designed for bluewater cruising: its aluminum hull, renowned for its robustness and durability, allows it to withstand the most demanding conditions while offering a safe and comfortable sailing experience.

The experts at SAIL Magazine also emphasized the excellent weight distribution thanks to the composite deck, which enhances stability and sailing performance. “Below deck, luxury blends seamlessly with a functional marine design,” they noted, praising the intelligent interior layout that combines comfort and practicality.

The galley, designed as a true work of art, the optimized technical space, and the easy engine access are all features that enhance its appeal.

A key asset highlighted by experts: its centerboard, which allows the draft to be reduced to just 1.20 m. “This is very impressive for a boat of this size and an interesting compromise for exploring shallow bays and coves,” the magazine notes. This unique versatility, combined with a remarkable ability to handle both strong and light winds, makes it a sailboat built for adventure.

Already Awarded by Cruising World

As a reminder, in December 2024, the Allures 51.9 was also honored with the Best Full-Size Cruiser Over 45 Feet award by the American magazine Cruising World. This double recognition, awarded by the two leading nautical media outlets in the United States, confirms the design quality and global appeal of this sailboat.

We are proud to see the Allures 51.9 becoming an essential reference for bluewater cruisers.
