About the ALLURES 44
The Allures 44 is a fractional sloop designed by Berret-Racoupeau/Darnet and built by Allures (FRA) in 2005, with an unknown total hull count. This French cruiser-racer features a displacement of 23148.0 lb and a beam of 13.94 ft, reflecting a design philosophy that balances performance with substantial interior volume.
- Best for:
- This vessel suits coastal cruisers and those seeking a performance-oriented bluewater cruiser, particularly owners who prioritize a spacious, well-equipped interior for extended passages, as evidenced by the high prevalence of watermaker installations.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.96 and a comfort ratio of 26.69, the Allures 44 demonstrates strong offshore stability and seakeeping characteristics, further supported by owner reports of extensive bluewater equipment like watermakers and robust anchoring systems.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Beneteau First 44 and the Jeanneau Sun Odyssey 44.2, which share similar fractional sloop rigs and performance-focused hull forms from the mid-2000s, though the Allures distinguishes itself with a heavier displacement and full/long keel configuration.
