Allures sailboats are designed by Olivier Racoupeau, a world-renowned architect. The hull of this meters sailboat meters a clever compromise between performance and comfort. Their composite deck, which is lighter, especially at the top, enhances performance and improves stability. Easy to handle solo, Allures 40.9 ocean-going sailboats boast average daily speeds of over 150 miles, which shortens distances.

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 case of bad weather. When sailing downwind with the centerboard raised, drag is reduced and the center of buoyancy is shifted aft, making the boat particularly smooth. The handling is more flexible. In breaking waves, thanks to the two rudders and the raised centerboard, the boat glides over the waves without any snagging effect, so even when sailing downwind at high speed, the boat remains under control, even on 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 its ergonomic deck layout, generously sized, top-quality fittings, well-staggered sail plan, and cockpit-returned controls, this 40-foot sailboat has been designed to be maneuvered by a small crew, and even easily by a single person.
