Allures 40.9

Designer:  Racoupeau Yacht Design

Hull Length:  12.65 m Beam:  4.15 m Draft:  1.06 m / 2.75 m Displacement:  10.9 t Engine:   Volvo Penta 50hp diesel Fuel Capacity:  400 l Water Capacity:  330 l

Whether cruising the ICW or heading offshore  for the tropical waters of the Caribbean, Allures Yachting’s 45.9 is more than meets the eye.  

Created by the renowned Berret-Racoupeau Yacht Design Studio , Allures’ line of rugged yet elegant passagemakers are built with the true cruiser in mind. And valuable input from experienced owners has helped to craft a vessel that is distinct and intuitive. Just at home reaching fast in the tradewinds as picking their way through rocky fjords or finding shelter in shallow, protected anchorages, no detail has been spared for those looking to achieve their cruising dreams in style and comfort.

Built in France to a very high standard , the welds are professionally and cleanly executed and the rounded, insulated hulls are a thing of beauty. Twin rudders provide impeccable tracking in large seas and respond to a light touch while sailing close to the wind. 

A composite superstructure keeps the boat’s overall weight down  and with an easily handled cutter rig, a couple or shorthanded crew can safely manage the boat in even the most boisterous conditions from the roomy and seaworthy cockpit.

Each 40.9 is crafted by a dedicated team of boatbuilders  and it shows just as much down below as on deck. The finely crafted interiors are bright and visibility from the salon and galley is impeccable through large windows. Fuel, water and batteries are housed under a raised cabin sole to keep weight centered and low. And there is a generous amount of storage throughout, including a large space aft of the engine for a generator, watermaker, spare parts or whatever you might need extra room for.

No two Allures yachts are the exact same , and each boat is highly customizable so the owner gets the best of what works for their cruising style and crew. The starboard aft cabin, for instance, can be a stateroom, technical room or workshop. And if you’d prefer a combination of all three, the workbench can be converted into a bunk with ample storage underneath.

Two versions for the same passion

This 40.9 is available in a centerboard version for shallow draft  — a shipyard specialty that enables beaching in total autonomy — and a lifting keel version that is ideal for those who prefer the performance of a lighter sailboat.

Allures 40.9 vs Ovni 400: French aluminium centreboarders go head-to-head

Yachting World

  • November 2, 2020

Two rugged aluminium 40-footers from competing french yards make an interesting comparison. François Tregouet tests the Allures 40.9 and Ovni 400

Back in the mid-2000s the niche market for aluminium centreboarders was disrupted by the arrival of a new upstart, Allures Yachting. Until then, the undisputed market leader was French company Alubat, builders of Ovni at Les Sables d’Olonne.

Last autumn Alubat launched the Ovni 400, a substantial evolution of its original concept, which we went to test sail in Les Sables. Then, just a few days later, it was the turn of competitor Allures to reveal its new 40.9. The opportunity to carry out a comparison of these two ocean cruising prospects was too timely and tempting to ignore.

The original Ovni concept dates back to the 1970s. With their shoal draught and raw, chined aluminium hulls, Ovnis have captured the imagination of serious ocean sailors over the past four decades. More than 1,500 Ovnis have been built, and fulfilled thousands of sailors’ bluewater cruising dreams. Jimmy Cornell famously completed a five-year circumnavigation aboard his Aventura III , an Ovni 43.

How to sea trial a boat: Professional boat testers share their top tips

Yacht brokers don’t really sell boats, they sell dreams. To buy any sailing yacht requires a leap of faith: a…

In 2003 engineers Stéphan Constance and Xavier Desmarest created Allures Yachting, with the ambition of revitalising the aluminium centreboarder concept. Starting with a 39.5 the Cherbourg-en-Cotentin-based yard quickly extended its range to 45ft, then a 50-footer.

But after the economic crisis of 2008, demand shrank and this specialised market was challenged by an ever-increasing number of competitors. Alubat began to appear unreactive. It was even close to disappearing in 2014, when it was taken over by a consortium of shareholders that loved the brand.

The Ovni 450 was launched, a refinement of the 445 aimed to innovate without alienating existing customers. Now, however, comes the Ovni 400, marking a real breakthrough.

With this new design it is quicker to list what hasn’t changed: its 100% aluminium construction, centreboard keel and suitability for long-distance cruising are the main elements which remain the same.

At first glance, the shape of the hull is the biggest difference. The freeboard is almost vertical; the first curve is close to the waterline and its considerable beam extends almost all the way to the transom.

It has a rounded, slightly inverted bow, extended by a solid aluminium bowsprit. The bow section finishes one third of the way back, and sports a muscly volume visibly influenced by the box rule hulls of the Mini, Class 40 and IMOCA classes.

ovni-400-yacht-review-boat-test-hull--credit-Francois-Tregouet

Slab-sided hull is rounded below the chine

This is combined with a short coachroof and vertical windows, and a clear and uncluttered foredeck that takes little water over the deck. The boat is secure to manoeuvre around on, with wide panels of non-slip and a longitudinal foot brace that runs centrally down the foredeck. Once at anchor, the foredeck area can become a double-bed sunbathing area.

The form and function of the boat almost makes you think of a catamaran – a connection that the Ovni 400’s architects, Alain Mortain and Yanis Mavrikios, are at no pains to deny.

All sail handling can be done from the cockpit, and canvas is hoisted or unfurled from the shelter of the huge companionway canopy. This rests against a solid arch, made of aluminium, which also supports the double mainsheet. When seated at the forward end of the cockpit benches, or on the coaming, you have a particularly well-sheltered watchkeeping station.

ovni-400-yacht-review-boat-test-helm-credit-Francois-Tregouet

Cockpit is secure for helmsman and crew, but particularly under the canopy

At the stern, the twin wheels offer flexible helming: each wheel can be used sitting or standing facing forward, or sitting on the coaming to fix your eyes on the gennaker luff.

The twin rudders respond rapidly, and the genoa sheet winches, which are centred within easy reach, allow the helmsman to fine tune the sails without disturbing the crew. They can sit comfortably installed, well wedged-in, at the solid teak and lacquered aluminium cockpit table.

It takes time to learn how best to sail this modern hull. There is power, for sure, but also plenty of wetted surface area, so you have to find the right angles of wind and heel to optimise performance in light airs and breezier conditions. Under engine (a 50hp Volvo saildrive) the Ovni reaches 6 knots at 2,200rpm.

ovni-400-yacht-review-boat-test-forecabin-credit-Francois-Tregouet

The airy forward cabin with an island double berth

But it is the Ovni’s comfort, ergonomics and stowage that impress most. The yard’s great experience and customer feedback all show their hand here.

Among the most striking points we liked were the large, rectangular bed in the forward cabin, and panoramic coachroof windows, which give a 180° view from the sliding companionway door. The light joiner work and décor give an uncluttered, modern look.

Practical touches include refrigerator drawers in the galley, which can be opened when the yacht is heeled; a large, and easy to clean moulded heads compartment in the starboard aft cabin; and a proper machinery room – a must for any bluewater sailor – that is accessible from the interior or the cockpit.

ovni-400-yacht-review-boat-test-galley-credit-Francois-Tregouet

Galley with sensible handholds and fiddled worktops is to port

A few details from the first boat need attention, such as protection for the throttle and perhaps fitting the arch slightly further aft.

However, this is a serious candidate for bluewater voyaging . And with serious voyaging in mind, the buyer of the hull in build during our visit to the yard is having his boat equipped with a rigid doghouse to protect crew from any heavy weather.

Allures 40.9

Allures unveiled its latest model at last season’s La Rochelle Boat Show. Anyone familiar with the Allures 39.9 might recognise the deck layout and lines, but many changes have been made here.

allures-409-yacht-review-boat-test-aft-running-shot-credit-Jerome-Houyvet

Although the interior layout remains more or less the same, the leap in quality initiated by its designer Isabelle Racoupeau – wife of the yacht’s naval architect Olivier Racoupeau – has changed things substantially. The Allures 40.9’s warm joinery and the attention given to the finishing details makes its predecessor seem dowdy by comparison.

From the stainless steel fiddles at the navstation to the leather-covered reading lights and the white Corian inserts in the saloon table, there is an overall feel of luxury.

Wireless light switches are within easy reach and no longer hidden in the ceiling. It’s these type of small details that give an overall impression of stylishness whilst remaining seamanlike.

The large roof hatches and five hull windows on each side generate plenty of light. The hull windows are aligned horizontally, so they enhance both the exterior aesthetics and the view from inside.

At sea, the slightly raised chart table and the U-shaped galley positioned close to the companionway allow the off-watch to keep an eye on the outside while staying warm and dry.

The saloon occupies the entire width of the hull, and the saloon table hides the centreboard well. There are a large number of stowage spaces on three levels on each side: under the seats; behind the backrests and under the side decks.

Fitted on this boat was good quality insulation foam (optional), which limits temperature changes and avoids any risk of condensation on the inside of the aluminium hull. The deck is of composite construction.

This use of an alloy/composite combination is something that has been well mastered in superyacht builds as well as in aeronautical construction. The saving in production time for the shipyard is obvious, as the interior can be built while the hull is open and without passing the furniture through the companionway hatch. It is not only an economic advantage; the use of a mould also allows the development of different deck shapes, a high level of finish, and better insulation.

As for the aluminium hull, owners love the fact that the lack of paintwork means there is one fewer item of regular maintenance to worry about, and anyone who craves colour can still have the design of their choice with the now-standard vinyl hull wrap.

On our test sail we had between 15 and 18 knots of wind, and the Allures 40.9 seemed so easy. At 40° off the apparent wind, we were making 7 knots, and between 8 and 9 knots once we bore off to 115°.

I had another opportunity to sail this boat last year in over 25 knots of wind, and my impression then was equally good.

In quite rough seas the boat hardly took any water over the deck and was sailing at more than 9 knots downwind in spite of having only a jib and mainsail. The only boats overtaking us that day were coastal or ocean racing yachts.

With over 20 knots of wind to get back to Cherbourg, we sailed dead downwind, sails goosewinged as if we were in the tradewinds – albeit not so warm. We’d have liked to hoist a gennaker on the solid bowsprit, to lengthen her stride.

But on this point of sail, and with a swell starting to build, you get the best of the smooth movement that centreboarders provide, and it’s a behaviour that always pleasantly surprises anyone not familiar with this configuration.

The same is true of harbour manoeuvres, especially when going astern. Guided by the twin rudders, and helped by the bow thruster, the Allures 40.9 smoothly slipped into its berth like a hand into a glove, despite a strong crosswind.

Head to head verdict

Both the Alubat and Allures yards clearly have a technical mastery of their builds. To be convinced of this, you only have to look at the electrical installations. The very high level of quality on both builds dispels any fears about the risk of electrolysis.

The metalwork on both boats is beyond reproach, stowage space is abundant, there are well-placed handrails everywhere and the capacity of the tanks gives all the self-sufficiency you could require. The specifications (below), indicate how evenly matched they are in some areas. So, which one would you choose?

The Allures and Ovni, close though they may appear to be, actually have very clearly differentiated personalities, and it is on this basis that owners will most likely make their choice.

The large and powerful Ovni will seduce those seeking to conquer muscular seas. The sleeker Allures will win the hearts of those who like to travel light. With the Ovni it is possible to customise the (aluminium) deck layout, while the Allures offers the versatility of a glassfibre deck construction.

Both Alubat and Allures deserve praise for the fact that the competition between them has pushed each company to innovate and improve their designs.

Centreboarder + Aluminium = Instability + Electrolysis?

Thousands of aluminium centreboarders have been cruising the world over the last 50 years. But myths die hard. A centreboarder is surely less stable than a keelboat? That’s simply not true. The standards for stability are the same for both. The downside is that the ballast on the centreboarder is higher up, so it requires more ballast to achieve the same righting moment.

A boat of the same length and sail area will be a few hundred kilos heavier – a disadvantage in light airs. On the other hand, the stability is very similar with the centreboard up, so you’re able to sail downwind in very little water or in rough seas.

The layman may also be worried about electrolysis in aluminium yachts. To dispel this biggest myth: the weak alloy of a lost penny dropped in the bilge won’t work its way through the 10-15mm of solid aluminium hull.

Ultimately, the electrical installations by shipyards such as Allures and Alubat are first class. Current leakage testers are a standard fit, warning of any deterioration, but also of possible problems if additional equipment is installed during the long life of the boat.

ALLURES 40 Year 2006

With her generous sailplan, her tight lines and her 2,60m maximum draft, the Allures 40, designed by Olivier Racoupeau is a elegant and fast centerborder which easily allows short handed sailing. Her comfortable headroom, her fonctionnal and flooded with light interior designed by Franck Darnet gives a pleasant volume impression to this 3 cabins version. The equipments and maintenance are the ones of a travelling owner unit, first hand.

Owner's words

We were the first owners of this Allures 40 in 2006. After we took part in ''le Rallye des îles du Soleil'' in 2006/2007 we took our time to sail around central america two or three month a year, gone up to the north of the U.S.A. east coast until 2012 when we crossed the atlantic from Boston to Granville in 26 days. We love our boat but our trip is now finished and we will be happy to sale her for the same program.

Allures 40.9

allure 40 yacht for sale

The first sailboat in the Allures Yachting range, the Allures 40.9 brings together all the qualities which have made the yard such a success: the accomplished combination of aluminium and composites to create an elegant and powerful boat which is very easy to handle, safe and comfortable. For a straightforward experience at sea in all conditions.

The qualities of the Allures 40.9 are based on many years of experience and innovation that have shaped the DNA of the Allures Yachting yard. Starting with our patented technology that combines the performance of composite superstructures with the safety of aluminium hulls, which has become the trademark of Allures yachts today. Our partners, the naval architecture team at Berret-Racoupeau, have created a modern hull by adding to the solidity of the aluminium with beam, power and maximum length at the waterline. Thus more efficient, the Allures 40.9 is free to take you quickly to the far side of the world. From slipping along under trade winds to reach paradise islands, to wandering through the fjords of Scandinavia, there are many sailing experiences to choose from. Its large charging capacity and large diesel tank also ensure a perfect autonomy that will give you even more freedom.

A centreboarder with aluminium hull, ease of handling, efficiency, twin helms, visibility from the saloon, profiled appendages, large storage volumes, technical room, separate shower, double chart table, sugar scoop lockers, saloon with sea view… All designed to provide you with absolute comfort whether under way or at anchor.

As a guarantee of safety, reefing is carried out from the cockpit. Spacious and deep, it offers optimum ergonomics, both at anchor and for sail handling and trimming. The location of the winches makes it possible to position yourself perfectly, whatever the sea state.

But the Allures 40.9 is not just an ergonomic yacht that makes sailing easier, it is also an elegant sailboat with exceptional lines and a great design both inside and out.

Key elements of the specifications ‘Experience Freedom’

allure 40 yacht for sale

  • Centreboard for freedom
  • Twin rudders for stability and control
  • Ergonomic cockpit for long distance
  • Forward and side windows provide exceptional light and 270° visibility
  • High-end interior design for an enjoyable life on board at anchor and a functional one at sea
  • Large storage capacity for self-sufficiency
  • Aluminium hull for unsurpassed impact resistance
  • Watertight forward bulkhead in aluminium
  • All sail handling manoeuvres led back to the cockpit
  • Composite deck for its ergonomics, lightness, insulating properties
  • Wide, load-carrying hull for its form stability and performance
  • Aluminium rear arch to optimize peripherals: antennas, solar panels, dinghy
  • Modern rigging for performance and ease of use

A centreboarder, to allow you to go further: the board casing is perfectly integrated into the interior layout, allowing a smooth and pleasant flow through the saloon.

Aesthetics is an integral part of the journey, which is why the designers have worked on the harmony of shapes and colours, combining style and efficiency. Isabelle Racoupeau designed especially for the Allures 40.9 an innovative design, highlighted by clear shades and discreet LED lighting. The interior space has been optimally worked to make life on board practical and your sailing as pleasant as possible. The interior furniture has been designed with noble and resistant materials such as stainless steel.

Comfortable and bright, the Allures 40.9’s saloon and cabins are designed to offer a pleasant and friendly living environment while being functional at sea. The galley, with its refrigerator with drawers and generous worktop, is perfectly suited for practical use when under way. The numerous storage spaces will facilitate the stowage of supplies for longer cruises. From the descent to the forward cabin, the many handrails facilitate moving around, both at sea and at anchor.

The Allures 40.9 is an aluminium hulled centreboarder with a composite superstructure. The result of strict specifications, drawn up thanks to the feedback of many circumnavigators, this unit combines all the characteristics of a true blue water sailing boat.

You will be able to carry out all the manoeuvres safely from the cockpit, without excessive effort thanks to the ergonomic design of the deck layout and the generous size of the deck fittings. You will always find the ideal position to steer from one of the two steering wheels, and will always find a place for everything in the many lockers available right up to the aluminium sugarscoop. But above all, you’ll sleep soundly, rightly confident in the strength of the aluminium hull of your Allures.

Company History

Friends from College, engineers Stephan Constance and Xavier Desmarest shared a common dream of a long journey under sail. To implement the planned you need to find the right yacht as from the point of view of the limited budget, and a number of other parameters. After a long search and questioning other travelers, it turned out that the yacht that meets all the needs of dreamers, simply does not exist. This was the reason for the creation Allures Yachting in 2003.

Specialization of shipyard steel >aluminum boat with a centerboard. Already the first model of the Allures 40 has gained broad popularity in 2005, was named "Boat of the year" in France. In 2006, the brothers Peyron ordered Allures 44 for an expedition to Greenland. In 2009, the shipyard was awarded Bateaux Bleu awards.

every year, the turnover of the shipyard has doubled, and the logical step was the extension. In 2004 was established the management company of Grand Large Yachting, which was engaged in business development. In 2007 was acquired by the Outremer shipyard that produces cruise catamarans. This was followed by the Garcia shipyard, specialized in high-end aluminum yachts of large size and manufacturer of aluminum boats for fishing Aluboat. In addition, were open service, Charter and brokerage direction. 2013 Grand Large Yachting is actively working in the U.S. market. In 2016, the company acquired the odious American manufacturer chic >catamarans Gunboat.

Range of models Allures traditionally does not strike wide. The company is betting on opportunities in customised yacht. This was made possible thanks to the robust enclosures made of aluminium, which does not require additional reinforcement bulkheads. In addition, its own design office of the shipyard Cabinet Berret Racoupeau are ready to design any configuration of internal space and cockpit.

a Feature of the Allures yachts is not only aluminum housing and the presence of the centerboard. Here it is in the details. All yachts Allures a fiberglass superstructure to reduce weight and improve appearance. Managing centerboard is made using a gear manually using the winch. Here do not use hydraulics for reliability and simplicity of design. Themselves swerty are not ballast, their weight is several hundred pounds. The ballast in the boat stowed around the centerboard-well .

Manufacturing

the Shipyard Allures is based in the North of France in the town of Cherbourg. With the development of the Grand Large Yachting in the conglomerate there are other shipyards. In particular, the aluminum body manufactured by the shipyard Garcia in Caen, and installation of GRP superstructure are produced in Cherbourg.
