About the ALLURES 40
The Allures 40 is a fractional sloop designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Allures Yachting (FRA) in 2005. With a displacement of 19400.0 lb and a beam of 13.39 ft, it offers a comfortable cruising platform, though the exact number of hulls built remains unconfirmed in available data.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize comfort and performance, as indicated by the high frequency of North sail upgrades and the addition of watermakers and bow thrusters for extended passages.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 2.0 and a D/L ratio of 206.57, the Allures 40 demonstrates strong offshore stability and seakeeping ability, supported by owner reports of watermaker and solar panel installations for self-sufficiency.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau Oceanis 40 and Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 41, which share similar production eras and fractional sloop rigs, but the Allures distinguishes itself with a heavier displacement and full/long keel configuration.
