Allures Yachting dares and finds the right compromise: strong and robustly built for the demands of a long sea voyage, but also very cosy and comfortable on the inside and visually appealing on the outside. And with its unusual design, the shipyard from Cherbourg combines further unique selling points.
The hulls of their yachts are made of aluminium in a round bilge, while the deck is made of GRP. The combination is exclusive, but offers many advantages, not only because of the weight saving. With the new Allures 45.9, customers can choose for the first time whether they want the boat as an integral centreboard with internal ballast or with a hydraulically retractable swing keel.
