The small French shipyard Allures Yachting entered the yacht building industry a little over 10 years ago, and has already achieved quite a lot in their narrow and exclusive niche, far from the mainstream.

Allures builds convincingly durable aluminum yachts, and Allures 39.9 with new technology, all-fiberglass decks are no exception. Sustainable and market-oriented improvements have led to continuous growth in orders and thus the development of the shipyard itself, which few manufacturers can boast of.
Allures yachting very quickly surpassed their competitors and became the market leader in aluminum cruising yachts. Since its inception, the shipyard has built over 100 yachts, ranging in size between 40 and 50 feet, producing approximately 20 units per year.

Yachts Allures are distinguished by a rounded framewhich is a feature of them and is rare in the yachting industry. Nine aluminum sheets with a diameter of 6 to 10 mm are placed on the conductors in a special workshop located directly at the shipyard. This structure is then welded to the frames and stringers. This sophisticated and carefully considered construction method guarantees a highly reliable and robust hull structure.

Another of the features of construction is considered combination of aluminum and fiberglass... Previously, the shipyard used fiberglass-reinforced plastic or GRP, from which were made parts of the deck - cockpit, stern, and the roof of the deckhouse. But developing the model Allures 39.9, the builder significantly increased the proportion of fiberglass by building the entire deck and stern of fiberglass sandwich using vacuum infusion technology. The aluminum body remains consistently strong, and the fiberglass is much lighter and more beautiful to look at, and modern shapes can be given to the silhouette. Thus, Allures tries to combine the advantages of both materials for a perfectly balanced boat. Despite the fact that according to the statements of the shipyard itself, the construction of a boat entirely from aluminum is cheaper.

Yacht Allures 39.9 designed for safe crossings, with particular attention to its offshore capabilities and easy handling in all conditions. This is reflected in the rigging: a thickened mast profile with a simplified sail plan and a relatively small sail area.
For long-haul cruising, the staysail is the recommended addition to the standard genoa with 105 percent overlap. When not in use, it stays attached and twisted.
Thus, Allures 39.9 concept is that this boat - it is a reliable and safe cruiser... Nevertheless, the yacht proved to be quite nimble during the test drive in wind speeds of around 10 knots. Moving sideways against the wind, under these conditions, the boat was sailing at a speed of 6.5 knots with a true wind angle of 45 degrees, and the pressure on both steering wheels remained almost neutral. These numbers are absolutely in line with expectations for a cruising yacht of this size.
Allures 39.9 equipped with ballast and ballast aluminum retractable keel. When raised, the minimum draft is 1.06 m. The keel is easily raised and lowered using a block control system leading to the deck. Retractable keel boats provide very smooth sailing in rough sea conditions. In addition, the keel has been improved over the previous model and takes up less space in the cabin, allowing for more dining space inside.
The galley is moved aft, port side, in the traditional manner, with plenty of usable storage space. Opposite the galley, on the starboard side, there is a navigation station, where there is ample space to lay out maps and install auxiliary electronics.
The boat also has a standard diesel engine. Volvo D2 power of 55 h.p. and additionally a bow thruster MaxPower.

Allures 39.9 offers two complete sets:
In the standard version the boat is equipped with two separate cabins. A stateroom with ample wardrobe and storage aft, and a large forward stateroom with its own shower room. The bow cabin is intended for owners, it is spacious and comfortable for two, while the aft cabin will be comfortable enough for one person.
As an alternativeThe boat can be ordered with three cabins, but then the bow cabin will be reduced to a very compact size, without its own shower. The second version is a compromise, like other redevelopment variations, besides the standard one, it is not suitable for those who go on a long voyage.
Allures Allocated more space for equipment service areas between cabins, for the installation of larger generator sets, water heaters, and water distillers, which are essential accessories for long ocean voyages.
Allures 39.9 technical systems and quality are impeccable for all weather conditions. If you are planning a long cruise and safety is critical to you, you can't go wrong with Allures!
