Sailpages Buyer's Take

The Allures 45.9 is a modern cruising sailboat designed by Berret-Racoupeau and built by Allures Yachts, with production records indicating a build year of 2018. While the exact total hull count is not definitively established in the source data, the vessel is characterized by its fractional sloop rig and substantial displacement of 27778.0 lb, reflecting a design focused on stability and comfort.

Best for:
This boat is best suited for serious coastal and offshore cruisers who prioritize self-sufficiency, as evidenced by the high prevalence of watermaker (35 mentions) and solar panel (23 mentions) installations among owners. Its fractional sloop rig and comfortable interior layout appeal to those seeking a capable bluewater passage maker rather than a performance racer.
Bluewater capability:
With a displacement of 27778.0 lb, a capsize ratio of 1.92, and a comfort ratio of 26.45, the Allures 45.9 demonstrates strong offshore suitability, further supported by owner reports of extensive bluewater equipment like wind generators and davits.
Comparables:
Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 442 and the Swan 44, which share similar fractional sloop rigs, heavy displacement characteristics, and a focus on bluewater cruising capability. These vessels, like the Allures, are often equipped with robust electronics upgrades such as Autohelm autopilots and North sails, indicating a shared owner demographic focused on long-range reliability.
