Manufacturer:

With a glut of mid-40ft yachts 
being launched this year, there’s something for everyone – as 
long as you want and can afford a 40-something foot yacht of course. If you’re after a go-anywhere cruiser the Allures 45.9 firmly ticks that box, but just because she can sail across oceans it doesn’t mean she’s any less of a coastal cruiser.

The raw battleship-grey aluminium hull, might not be to everyone’s taste, but it’s insanely practical; it won’t crack or craze, it doesn’t fade or need polishing, and in ten years it will pretty much look the same, save for a few more scuffs and scrapes.

I don’t have anything against fixed deep keels, but there are times when I wish they weren’t so deep or so fixed. The centreboard makes 
a host of harbours more accessible to this boat than to many smaller yachts. She’s also a comfortable yacht to live on board. What’s not to love about her? Surprisingly little, actually…

PERFORMANCE

In lighter conditions she won’t win many prizes 
for speed and agility without extra sails, but as comfortable cruisers go, she’s great. We set full mainsail and genoa and as the breeze increased 
she came into her own.

She has a long skeg, which protects the saildrive 
while also giving her good directional stability. 
Her centreboard can reduce her a draught from 
3.0m to just 1.0m, but with the board fully down she 
still wasn’t particularly high-winded, feeling most comfortable around 36-38° off the wind close hauled.

On a fetch she makes good speed, and as the wind increased to 15-18 knots AWS she was soon charging along in excess of 7 knots.

Below deck, where one usually hears the water rushing past the hull, there was nothing – an almost deathly quiet, thanks to the insulation. I didn’t try, but I predict I’d be able to sleep with ease on passage.

DECK LAYOUT

The cockpit is made from body-friendly GRP with rounded corners and comfortable seating. The high coamings, forward, along with the sprayhood, make forward a well-protected space.

Sheet winches are inboard of the twin wheels – but not quite far enough to give a good clearance between winch handle and wheel; there is clearance but 
I’d have liked a bit more.

Aft of the helm is a large aluminium gantry that can be used as a davit as well as for housing all the cruising gadgetry a tech-savvy sailor requires.

Either side of the bathing platform are large wet lockers that drain overboard; the locker to starboard houses the gas bottle but still has loads of room. Under the helm seats are lazarette lockers – the starboard one can easily hold an outboard 
motor vertically.

Handholds on deck are excellent and run outboard of the sprayhood along the coachroof. On this boat the owner has sensibly opted for granny bars, providing extra security when working at the mast.

The substantial bowsprit has a single built-in bow roller, but there is no provision for a second. This boat had two bow mooring cleats each side and the forward set could be used for taking a line from a mooring.

There’s plenty of storage for tools and spares in the technical space. Credit: Graham Snook

The chain locker has a windlass below the deck, abaft is vast sail locker. Substantial horizontal aluminium tubing partitions off one side of this watertight locker. They are the perfect place to tie lines and use like a ladder to get down into the 1.68 (5ft 6in) deep space.

In the cockpit there’s a sole-depth locker to starboard, while to port is a hatch 
to allow access into the technical space.

AT THE HELM

The sole of the helm is dished to make standing comfortable at all but extreme angles of heel.

The 
feel in the helm isn’t as precise as some, but it’s smooth and has a reasonable weight to it.

Sheet winches are led aft, within easy reach of the helm. Credit: Graham Snook

Both staysail and genoa sheets come back to the winches mounted at coaming height inboard – this makes winching more comfortable allowing the user to get their body over the winch without leaving the safety of the cockpit.

The mainsheet goes to the starboard coachroof winch, well out of reach of the helm.

DESIGN & CONSTRUCTION

She has a rounded aluminium hull that is welded onto frames and stringers, making a strong monocoque structure.

The aluminium deck stops 
at a wide flange inboard of the gunwale and the GRP foam-cored deck goes to the toerail. It’s GRP for comfort as well as to reduce weight higher up.

The deck is GRP for lightness and comfort. Credit: Graham Snook

She is available with a ballasted lifting keel that can’t dry out or, as in the version tested, with a centreboard that can. She has twin rudders, but unlike many twin-ruddered yachts the saildrive is set well forward so there is some wash over the rudders.

The level of finish was generally good, although there were a couple of small finishing details where 
a bit more care could have been beneficial.

RIG & SAILPLAN

This yacht had a slutter/Solent rig, with a large genoa forward and a smaller inner staysail – useful when cross tacking or with winds over 18 knots TWS, though the mast requires extra support from running backstays while it’s in use.

The genoa can be tacked without furling, but to make the operation smooth it needed someone on the foredeck.

With fewer crew, furling most of it before tacking is the better option.

The fixed bowsprit can take a code zero or furling asymmetric to increase the off-wind sail area.

ACCOMMODATION

It might only be seven years on from her predecessor (the Allures 45), but styling and the look of modern materials has leapt forward in that time.

The lines 
are cleaner, the ‘Zen’ option of oak is lighter and the windows feel bigger. This all adds up to make her bright and contemporary, while still retaining traditional values like a practical living space with plenty of useful handholds.

Angled ends make the bench seats into comfortable chaises longues. Credit: Graham Snook

The layout sees the saloon offset to starboard with L-shaped seating outboard and a long island unit over the centreboard housing.

At the aft end of both bench seats the backrest is angled aft, making a relaxing, reclined chaise longue. This aspect of the 1.47m (4ft 10in) central seat makes it ideal for conversing with the cook who’d otherwise have their back to the saloon.

The saloon table is long, perhaps a little 
too long, as it restricts entry to the seating (just 22cm/9in to squeeze through the aft gap). The table lowers and can be covered with cushions to make a day berth. There’s good stowage under the seats, but less outboard due to the hull’s foam insulation.

A raised saloon hides the centreboard casing and gives those seated a better view. Credit: Graham Snook

It’s a step down from the saloon to the galley and then forward into the forecabin. An ensuite heads is an option, as is a shower for the compartment too. On this boat, however, the aft area of the forecabin has space, large lockers and an aft facing vanity unit with more handy stowage in it.

The berth is wide at 1.6m (5ft 3in); it’s not quite an island berth, but it’s not full width either so lee cloths would be needed. It’s wide enough at its forward end to sleep with your head forward and there are reading lights and switches for the cabin lights forward.

There’s drawer stowage at the aft end of the berth, just above floor level, and more stowage above them. A glance at the hull windows gives some idea of the hull thickness between the hull sides inboard and the skin of the hull.

The aluminium frames are around 12cm (5in) deep and the windows are recessed 7cm (3in) inboard and 4cm (2in) from the hull – so they’re well protected from fenders scuffing them.

The master cabin has a large double berth. Credit: Graham Snook

Around the boat many handholds are covered in dark grey leather. The only handles that aren’t is the full-height grab handle on the bulkhead aft of the galley and the nearby stainless-steel pole at the aft end of the saloon. Not only is this great for safety, 
it also conceals the lines to raise the centreboard.

The aft cabin to starboard offers plenty of space with hull windows and a long rectangular berth. There is an option for the technical space on the 
port side to be a double berth, too.
The heads is by the companionway to port, and 
the forward end is taken up by the separate shower compartment that has a decent-sized wet locker 
– to stop its contents getting even wetter there’s a 
roll-down curtain.

CHART TABLE

The chart table has both forward and aft facing seating and is raised up to take advantage of the large coachroof windows. It’s a nice area and gives the owner another usable space, whether it’s as a dinette, a games table or for navigation.

There are open trays both inboard and outboard. The handhold at the inboard end is good, but it also gives an escape route to items on the chart table – especially if using a paper chart; there are no fiddles to keep it in place.

Seats on both sides of the chart table make it a more flexible space. Credit: Graham Snook

There are, however, angled supports to help keep the occupants in place and give good handholds, but they are made from rectangular tube with angled corners that I wasn’t wholly in favour of.

Chart stowage is lacking, but this boat’s owner has employed the top of the forward cabin’s hanging locker for this purpose.

It’s a step down to the linear galley, increasing headroom to 2.10m (6ft 11in) and giving a feeling 
of security, helped by the high back of the island seat that has grab handles running along its length.

The space between this and the high-fiddled Corian-topped work surface is wide enough for two people to pass without feeling intimate or awkward.

Outboard are bottom-hinged lockers – these doors are wide and have two clips on each, meaning two hands are needed to open any of them. Again because of the insulated hull, the lockers aren’t as deep as you’d expect.

It is nice to have separate areas within the saloon. Credit: Graham Snook

Neither are the drawers under the saloon seat – the centreboard case is the culprit this time. A bit more stowage would have been nice but beneath the sole is tankage.

Forward is the sink and a handy removable lid 
to access the bin. Aft are the two Vitrifrigo drawer fridge/freezers. In the cupboards under the worksurface you’ll find storage for plastic crates that can be lifted up to slide out or be removed.

MAINTENANCE

One of the stand-out areas of the Allures is the technical space, accessed via the heads. It will have bluewater sailors drooling with envy.

A generous technical space can also double up as an extra berth. Credit: Graham Snook

Here you’ll find a neatly fitted out area that can house an extra berth if required.

There’s access and light via a hatch that opens into the cockpit. Beneath the bench are more plastic crates held in place by removable restraining bars.

Aft of the engine is room for a generator and the space to service it.

Access to the switch panel and the wiring is from the aft cabin. Open what looks like a cupboard and it’s all neatly laid out in front of you.

Getting a close look at the engine poses no major problems either, as long as you don’t object to unscrewing panels to have access to less frequently used filters and fittings.

THE TEST VERDICT

I’d love to own an Allures 45.9 – it gives me all I want 
in a cruising yacht and so much more. She feels indestructible on the water and, with some extra canvas to increase her sail area for light wind days, she’ll heel and go – whatever the weather.

She might not be the most responsive boat to helm, but when she’s going you feel like nothing is going to get in her way.

I don’t care that she’s got a bare aluminium hull. 
In fact, it requires just the amount of upkeep I have time for – absolutely none!

Just the sight of her approaching will scare most GRP boat owners into action looking for extra fenders.

She has layout options to satisfy a couple or a family. Credit: Graham Snook

The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and versatile; there is room to do maintenance and running repairs, relax, be social or hide away.

I covet the thought of making a morning coffee, sitting at the chart table and looking out across some remote drying anchorage.

WOULD SHE SUIT YOU AND YOUR CREW?

If you’re looking for a serious cruiser, capable of coastal, offshore and bluewater sailing, the Allures 45.9 should 
be on your short list.

She has layout options to satisfy a couple or a family and can easily be sailed short-handed over long distances. Add to that the ability to dry out or navigate 
in just over a metre of water and you have a formidable package; even without all the advantages an aluminium hull brings to the table.

With the GRP deck, aluminium round-bilge and centreboard, she’s unique – no other manufacturer offers all of these features on one boat.

Like most yachts, she could benefit from a few small tweaks here and there (which any owner would have their own views on) but Allures can adapt to and incorporate your ideas.

As she is, she’s replaced the Allures 45 on my five-boat-list of yachts to dream of sailing round the world on, but having just worked out 
how many more years I’ll have to test boats for, sadly 
I won’t be casting off in her any time soon!

“Full main and small jib?” I asked, raising my voice slightly to project above the breeze in the low teens. “I honestly don’t know, this is my first time with the sails up on this boat,” said my friend Molly Howe, the broker who was helping me get out for a sunny February sail. This was going to be a voyage of discovery, and that felt fitting given that the boat I was testing differentiates itself from modern production cruisers in a number of ways. This is the first Allures 45.9 I’ve seen in person, let alone taken sailing. Though a number of them have been sold to Pacific Northwest sailors, they often have taken delivery abroad or immediately headed cruising. I was genuinely stoked to check it out.

The Allures 45.9 is an aluminum-hulled bluewater cruising sailboat with a composite deck, designed and built in France. It endeavors to strike an ideal balance between strength and safety, luxurious comfort and sailing performance. A high bar no doubt, but one I believe it clears impressively after my afternoon of sailing.

Though in the grand scheme of cruising sailboats, perhaps the 45.9’s most notable attribute is its aluminum hull, it wasn’t what caught my eye first. That honor went to large permanent swim step, which is integrated into the aluminum hull. As a fan of simple solutions on go-far boats, this element shined with utility and prudence. Framing the swimstep was a standard aluminum arch which supports a dinghy on davits below and a solar array above, each of which perfectly befit the design.

I climbed aboard and worked my way through a small maze of stainless steel tubing clearly designed to keep the robust cockpit coverings intact in some serious weather. This is less a design aspect and more of a lifestyle choice, and entirely understandable in this corner of the world. While these bimini supports somewhat inhibited easy movement forward, they also gave a sense of security and comfort in the cockpit, which is equally important for shorthanded sailing in the ocean.

I ducked into the interior and loved the layout of numerous windows and warm-toned woods, including the dark brown cabin sole. This isn’t a hand-sculpted custom one-off with joinery that’ll make you misty-eyed, but in the modern cruising sailboat market, it’s notably well finished and will be lastingly functional.

Returning to the deck, we readied for our sail. Flow around the cockpit was easy. We were off the dock in moments with the help of the bow thruster. Rounding the breakwater I asked how much we draw. “Nine-and-a-half with the board down.” Molly replied. That’s right, a person could be forgiven for forgetting that under the waterline there’s more cool design elements. There are two options for underwater appendages: a lifting keel or, in our case, a centerboard. The lifting keel offers heavier ballast but, spoiler alert, we certainly never felt under-ballasted on the centerboard version. It was exciting to be trying out such a deep-drafted cruising boat, that also draws less than 3.5 feet when it comes time to anchor.

The Allures 45.9 has a ⅞ fractional solent rig with swept spreaders, a split fixed backstay and checkstays. A solent rig differs from a cutter because the larger sail (the solent) is a 100% jib instead of a bigger genoa, and the position of the two sails means you won’t be employing them at the same time. Still, I lit up envisioning configuration options not available on many boats. The Allures’ sail area to displacement ratio represents its intent to be equally safe, stout, and sailable. Starting with discretion in 11-14 knots of wind on an unfamiliar boat, we rolled out the staysail with the full main.

Trimmer that I am, once we set the sails, I set about tweaking them. I quickly appreciated the ability to adjust many things. I liked the staysail leads, which could be moved aft under load, and it was interesting to see that the leads for both headsails shared placement on each side’s fore-aft track. I checked out the mainsheet traveler system forward of the dodger, which was clearly robust and wide enough to ably do its job. Pulling the loaded traveler to weather definitely required a winch, though.

Wanting to go check on a few things—cunningham rigging, jib halyard tension—I went forward, carefully exiting our cockpit cocoon. On this trip to the mast, I noticed the height of the step to the cabin top from the side decks. Where I instinctually stepped up, it felt like maybe two feet. Hmm. Looking around, I saw the better option. The coachroof has a gently convex sweep to deck level near the mast. Note to self, take the side-deck to the mast, then step up. Once there, I appreciated the pushpits flanking either side of the mast as we rolled through the wind waves.

We settled in with the preliminary sail configuration and the boat felt stout and sturdy without being sluggish, with the easy motion you’d expect from a cruising boat of this size. We took turns at the helm and noted what seemed like a pretty narrow groove sailing upwind. Taking the wheel, I unconsciously started moving it slightly looking for helm feel, only to discover that the Allures 45.9 has twin rudders. While it means I need to retune my expectations about feel, this design choice is almost guaranteed to be a net benefit for the vast majority of owners, with its increased control and reduced weather helm in breeze. We were making a lazy 5.5 knots at a 50-degree true wind angle and threw in a couple of tacks. We hadn’t come close to having too much sail up for the conditions.

A lot about the cockpit feels just right. It’s cleanly rigged, with cabintop lines led aft under the deck to their clutch and winch locations; and there are two clever line lockers under the cockpit sole. Generally, all the sail controls are effectively located and easy to use. Even with the extensive cockpit coverings, the visibility from the helm stations up the side decks is excellent and the windows through the bimini from the helm offered a perfect view of the mainsail for the driver. I really loved the position of the primary winches, which manage the headsails and their furling lines (the mainsheet trims to the cabin top electric winch). Placed as they are, the primary winches can not only be trimmed from the helm, but will also keep sailors standing inboard in the cockpit instead of leaning or standing farther outboard—a big safety improvement in the offshore environment.

It was only a matter of time before we decided to furl the staysail and try the solent. As soon as we did, the boat just sang. The groove was easier to find and maintain, the boat felt more balanced, and our speed jumped to 7+ knots upwind. We were happier, the boat was happier. We still didn’t feel close to being overpowered, but for the first time that day, the Allures 45.9 felt adequately powered, and all design facets were working in harmony.

The bigger sail also made vastly more sense when we turned off the wind. Soon, some commercial traffic inspired us to throw in a jibe, and I was reminded of the compromise with a solent rig when we had to furl the sail in order to jibe it through. For bluewater sailors whose intervals between maneuvers might be many hours or even days, no biggie; but for cruisers in the Pacific Northwest, furling the solent for every tack or jibe would be something to adjust to.

Getting back to the dock, I returned to the swanky cabin. Moving inside and out, you won’t forget the Allures 45.9 is very beamy at 14.5 feet, yet efforts have clearly been made to reduce the functional width (and associated risk) for sailors. The main salon’s settee table is inviting, but provides crucial handholds around its entire exterior. In the cockpit, the fixed table does the same. Every bit as important, the galley is situated so you could lean against the back of the settee seats while working there in a seaway; much better than less natural bracing or even the tethering I know some offshore cruisers do when cooking underway.

In my opinion, there’s just a lot about the design that hits the mark. The Volvo D2-60 diesel (or optional D2-75) is quite powerful for a boat of this size, and the saildrive pushes the boat to efficient cruising speeds above 9 knots. It was cool to check out the centerboard trunk and to see that it does not require a hydraulic system—a winch easily does the job and means remote repairs will be much easier. Tankage is mostly located under the floorboards, keeping the weight low. The port aft cabin has a single berth that doubles as a workbench and provides stunningly good access to the steering system just aft of there. The forward cabin is indeed luxurious, and the starboard aft double berth is cozy. There are two heads, one with a shower that had more than my 6-foot requirement for standing headroom (head configuration options also exist). To me, the layout points to this boat being mainly set-up for long term cruising for a couple who might occasionally welcome guests, or possibly a small family.

The storage throughout is substantial, perhaps nowhere more on display than the massive forepeak storage locker ahead of the watertight crash bulkhead. It’s where I’d keep my code zero, but you could keep deflated paddleboards or any number of other items stowed there and forget you even had them on board.

In sum, it’s a boat of style and sophistication, one that will deliver delight under sail, inspire confidence in rough weather, and is sure to have you charting courses for distant destinations. Its aluminum hull is strong and forgiving should you find yourself on the bottom or hit a log at full speed. The innovations evident at every turn work beautifully together such that the boat feels at home at sea, just as it was intended.

Allures 45.9 Boat Review

• By Herb McCormick
• Updated: April 25, 2018

There’s something very French about no-nonsense aluminum cruising boats, perhaps because the vast majority of them are built in France. The very best examples are rugged yet refined, handsome yet utilitarian, and are equally at home either crossing the open ocean or tucked into a secluded cove. When you come across a bare brushed-aluminum hull in a distant anchorage, you just sense that the sailors on board will have an adventurous tale to tell.

At least that’s my impression. And when I first inspected the new Allures 45.9 at last fall’s U.S. Sailboat Show in Annapolis, Maryland — yet another offering with a ­decidedly French pedigree, starting with its prolific Gallic designer, ­Olivier Racoupeau — nothing about the yacht’s purposeful lines or inviting interior dissuaded me from that opinion. For long-range cruising, inside and out, the Allures represents the best of two worlds. It really fits my definition of a bluewater cruiser.

With an extended bowsprit ­forward (for flying off-wind sails and housing the ground tackle, which consists of an optional self-­launching Rocna anchor) and a nifty arch aft (perfect for antennas, a wind generator and solar panels, while doubling as dinghy davits), the Allures 45.9 is clean and functional at both ends. In between, there’s no lack of spiffy features and attention to detail.

Working from the bow aft, the double-spreader deck-stepped mast features a Solent rig with a pair of headsails, both on furlers. A copious sail locker is fitted with a crash bulkhead. The faux-teak deck is a ­product called Marinedeck, a good-looking cork-and-resin composite that doubles as excellent ­nonskid. There’s a solid vang on the boom that also features a Walder boom brake, which tames the spar when jibing. A pair of safety rails at the mast are properly sized and spaced, and provide plenty of support when working forward. The traveler is stationed on deck just forward of the generous dodger.

The cockpit is very cool. The companionway includes a two-piece acrylic slat that disappears into the deck when not in use. The color-­coded vang, mainsheet and reefing lines are led to a suite of winches and clutches to port and starboard on the coachroof. The port locker also houses an opening hatch to the technical room down below; aft of the starboard locker is a nifty nook for stowing the dinghy outboard. The twin helms, affixed to a pair of ­rudders, are within easy reach of a pedestal just forward of the wheels that control the headsail sheets via a set of Lewmar winches. The walk-through transom leads to a built-in swimming/boarding platform. The underbody of the boat we inspected had the standard skeg/centerboard configuration, though a ballasted swing keel is also an option.

Down below, there are three accommodations layouts from which to choose (basically, you can go with two or three cabins, and one or two heads). Our test boat was a two-cabin model with a large single head to port of the companionway. Aft of the head was the aforementioned technical room (you could also opt for bunk beds instead), which was really terrific. It’s a place to work and store tools that are going to get oily and messy while separating them from the ­other ­living spaces. The generator ­also lives there, and there’s even room for a washing machine should you so desire.

Stepping down below, you are greeted by an interior ­layout that belies the workmanlike appearance of the robust topside. In other words, it doesn’t look like an ­expedition boat but rather a contemporary cruising boat with accouterments that wouldn’t feel out of place on a modern, French production model from builders such as ­ Beneteau , Jeanneau or Dufour .

In the main saloon, to port is the straight-line galley; the back of a long, amidships settee provides support for the cook when working at sea. To starboard is a raised navigation station (something you see less and less of on new boats) with seats both fore and aft of it. A large L-shaped settee is forward of the nav table, with a drop-down table that allows for a giant double berth in its lowered position. All three versions include a luxurious forward stateroom, with or without an adjacent head.

The construction of the ­Allures 45.9 is straightforward: The hull and transom are welded aluminum, while the deck and coachroof are fiberglass with a foam core. Down below, for sound and weather insulation, the hull is insulated foam with neoprene.

We sailed the boat in ­rather disappointing conditions on Chesapeake Bay, with winds that hovered in the 5-knot range. Surprisingly, even in the light airs, the Allures ghosted along at better than 3 knots. The centerboard is a neat feature because it provides a bite to windward when lowered but can also be raised when reaching or running off the breeze. And, of course, it allows access to shallow anchorages that are out of bounds to other boats of this size.

The Allures 45.9 is imported into the U.S. market through a sole distributor, Swiftsure Yachts, based in Seattle. But the sales reps at Swiftsure say most new owners take delivery of the boat in France, cruise the canals and coastline, then sail across the English Channel to Great Britain, where it can be loaded on a ship to cross the Atlantic in less than a week.

That sounds like a pretty good plan to me. Though, of course, you could also opt to sail the boat home as well. The Allures 45.9 can handle whatever comes its way with style and aplomb.

Allures 45.9

Please contact a dealer for price

• Description

General information

Accommodation, allures 45.9 offers even more comfort, easy sailing with a small crew and better performance,all while ensuring the utmost safety..

This new model is avalable in centerboard version for low draught, which enables beaching in total autonomy.

Besides the centerboard version- a shipyard speciality- Allures 45.9 is also available in a lift keel version, ideal for those who prefer the performance of a lighter sailboat.

Always so different

Although Allures 45.9 is a novelty, it is still first and foremost an Allures, with all its distinctives features. As our owners are demanding seafarers, we offer them the safest means to realise their dreams.

Composite deck

The aluminium hull and composite deck construction has long represented the perfect combination in the luxury yacht industry. Developing this technology for yatching provides Allures Yachting customers with the best of both worlds.

Attractive, ergonomic, pratical, lightweight, insulated... if we hadn't been building it since 2003, it would have to be invented!

Aluminium Hull

Allures hulls have always been aluminium, a material of unparalleled resistance for safe sailing. The Berret- Racoupeau Yacht Design combines elegant lines and performance. Finally, the unique know-how of the Groupe Grand Large Yachting offers world-class workmanship and unmatched finishing quality. The minimalist draught and the possibility of beaching enable you to access the most inaccessible anchorages, often the safest.

Spaciousness, ideal accessibility, high capacity tanks and host of details to make your daily life at sea a breeze. An Allures yacht takes you far, for a long time, in total autonomy... and back home!

Two versions for the same passion

Allures Yachting doubles its offering and widens the range of possibilities for its best-selling yacht. Performance and low draught have always been in the DNA of each model created by Allures.

The new lifting keel version available today along with the legendary centreboard version offers an additional variation on the same theme. As safety is paramount for our customers, the stability of both versions is rigorously identical. With identical sail surface and mast height, the lifting keel version features a 2280 kg lighter ballast, when centreboard allows it to beach in total autonomy.

Constantly aiming for excellence...

With its centred winches on the cokpit, positioned at ideal height, the ergonomic cockpit allows easier and safer manoeuvring, perfect for sailing with a small crew. The entirely composite deck ensures better weight distribution, thereby optimising performance and seafaring experience.

Key elemens of blue water yachts, favoured by our seafaring customers are the standard spacious forward sail locker forming the crash box and technical room at the back. Accessible from the interior and from the deck through a watertight hatch, the technical room comes equipped with a standard number of storage cupboards.

Constantly aiming for perfection, the smallest details receive just a much attention:

- Large capacity water and fuel tanks,

- Aluminium sea-cocks below and above the waterline

- Technical locker between the two cabins suitable to accomodate a power generator + a washing machine,

- Ample storage space in the skirt - 13 kg gas bottle compartment and fender compartment,

- Aft compartment for outbord motor,

- Large access hatch to sail locker.

Their experience, based on tens of thousands of miles aboard our sailboats, our own sailing expertise and passionate attention to architectural developments have contributed to the creation of this new gem in the Allures range. Allures 45.9 offers even more comfort, easy sailing with a small crew and better performance, all while ensuring the utmost safety. This new model is available in centreboard version for low draught, which enables beaching in total autonomy. Besides the centreboard version-a shipyard speciality-Allures 45.9 is also available in a lifting keel version, ideal for those who prefer the performance of a lighter sailboat.

Developing this technology for yachting provides Allures Yachting customers with the best of both worlds. Attractive, ergonomic, practical, lightweight, insulated... if we hadn't been building it since 2003, it would have to be invented! ACCOMMODATION Franck Darnet, the designer, is also a seafarer. For Allures Yachting, Franck Darnet designs practical nautical interiors whose comfort is matched by their pure and elegant lines. EQUIPMENT Spaciousness, ideal accessibility, high capacity tanks and host of details to make your daily life at sea a breeze. An Allures yacht takes you far, for a long time, in total autonomy... and back home! SETTING A NEW STANDARD A few centimetres longer (77, to be exact), a more powerful stern, forward bearing shapes, all contribute to an entirely new impression of interior spaciousness. Aside from the extra centimetres, the Allures 45.9 proposes an innovative modularity, such a forward cabin which quickly transforms into either a double bed or two twin beds; or the saloon, which turns into a large children's play area, nighttime sleeping area or daytime leisure area. Safe, functional, elegant, the accommodation in the Allures 45.9 is particularly ideal for life at sea. The headroom and generous portholes offer exceptional living space and comfort. In addition to the traditional interior - Classic version (Cherry wood), a Zen version is also proposed with a light oak. CONSTANTLY AIMING FOR EXCELLENCE With its centred winches on the cockpit, positioned at ideal height, the ergonomic cockpit allows easier and safer manoeuvring, perfect for sailing with a small crew. The entirely composite deck ensures better weight distribution, thereby optimising performance and seafaring experience. Key elements of blue water yachts, favoured by our seafaring customers are the standard spacious forward sail locker forming the crash box and technical room at the back.

She feels indestructible on the water and, with some extra canvas to increase her sail area for light wind days, she'll heel and go - whatever the weather. She might not be the most responsive boat to helm, but when she's going you feel like nothing is going to get in her way. I don't care that she's got a bare aluminium hull. ?In fact, it requires just the amount of upkeep I have time for - absolutely none! Just the sight of her approaching will scare most GRP boat owners into action looking for extra fenders. The accommodation is spacious, comfortable and versatile; there is room to do maintenance and running repairs, relax, be social or hide away. I covet the thought of making a morning coffee, sitting at the chart table and looking out across some remote drying anchorage. WOULD SHE SUIT YOU AND YOUR CREW? If you're looking for a serious cruiser, capable of coastal, offshore and bluewater sailing, the Allures 45.9 should ?be on your short list. She has layout options to satisfy a couple or a family and can easily be sailed short-handed over long distances. Add to that the ability to dry out or navigate in just over a metre of water and you have a formidable package; even without all the advantages an aluminium hull brings to the table. With the GRP deck, aluminium round-bilge and centreboard, she's unique - no other manufacturer offers all of these features on one boat. Like most yachts, she could benefit from a few small tweaks here and there (which any owner would have their own views on) but Allures can adapt to and incorporate your ideas. As she is, she's replaced the Allures 45 on my five-boat-list of yachts to dream of sailing round the world on, but having just worked out how many more years I'll have to test boats for, sadly I won't be casting off in her any time soon!

Farther On is hull #28 of the Allures 45.9 series. She was delivered in August of 2021 at the Allures/Garcia Shipyard in Cherbourg, France. Farther On was then sailed across the English Channel and shipped from Southampton to Philadelphia. She was displayed at the 2021 and 2023 US Sailboat Shows in Annapolis, Maryland.

Farther On has been day and weekend sailed out of Tolchester, Maryland during the summer and stored on land under shrink wrap in the winter. She is currently in winter storage at Tolchester Marina and shrink wrapped.  Farther On is an “owner’s version” with two staterooms and two heads. The owner’s stateroom is forward with a centerline queen berth.  This berth can hinge open forming two single berths when desired. A forward head is ensuite to starboard/aft. There is a guest stateroom in the starboard quarter. The head is to port of the companionway with a stall shower forward. A technical room in the port quarter has a workbench with drawers below it. A mattress fits on top of the work bench when accommodating extra crew. The dining table also lowers making the dinette one very large berth.

The owner’s change in plans makes this well-equipped, very lightly used Allures 45.9 an excellent choice for the aspiring cruiser looking for a “like new”, shoal-draft, aluminum world cruiser with immediate delivery priced well below replacement value.
