The Allures 39.9 at the YACHT test in Southampton
Allures Yachting in France builds robust yachts from aluminium. However, the entire deck of the new Allures 39.9 is now made of GRP

Aluminium hull and GRP deck - a rare balancing act. The older Allures models already had GRP parts on deck, for example in the superstructure or in the cockpit. On the latest boat, however, the entire deck, including the stern, is now built as one large, continuous GRP moulding. The manufacturer promises better insulation and more options for additional fittings on deck.

The hull of the Allures 39.9 is built as an aluminium round bilge, a particularly robust construction. And: with an integral centreboard and double rudder blades, Allures yachts can also fall dry.

YACHT has tested the Allures 39.9. The test report will be published in issue no. 1/2014. YACHT online is showing the pictures here in advance.
