Allures 40.9 – All the strength of aluminum (and more)
The Allures 40.9 is the boat of a lifetime, the one that is no longer worth changing, chasing fads. Do you want some examples of why it is a unique boat, different from others? Here are some features that make it unique:
- The aluminum hull for unsurpassed impact resistance.
- There is a watertight aluminum, shockproof bow bulkhead.
- Deck made of composite for maximum rigidity and lightness
- All maneuvers deferred in the cockpit for maneuverability even in single
- It has the standard easy-to-maneuver integral drifts, allowing you to anchor just a few meters from shore.
- Stability and ease of steering at all times, thanks to the two rudders.
- A sheltered but comfortable cockpit for long sailings
- Fairing designed by Berret and Racoupeau that provides exceptional stability and high performance.
- Ample storage space throughout the boat for great range
- High-end interior design for pleasant life aboard at roadstead and functional life at sea
The boat to go to the end of the world
Another suggestion, to make you understand why Allures 40.9 is a boat unlike any other the yard explains it well: “Our partner, the naval architecture firm Berret-Racoupeau, designed a modern hull by combining the proverbial solidity of aluminum with width, power and maximum waterline length. Thus more efficient and performing, theAllures 40.9 is free to take you even to the ends of the earth. Gliding under the balmy trade winds, reaching paradise islands, roaming the fjords of Scandinavia–there are many sailing experiences to choose from. The large storage capacity and capacious diesel tank also ensure perfect autonomy for ever greater freedom.”
