Allures 44 (44.6 ft) Full Aluminum Keelboat – 2010

Price: €330,000 / 39,38 MCFP

Designed by architects BERRET-RACOUPEAU and built at the ALLURES YACHTING shipyard in Cherbourg – France, this 44-foot full aluminum keelboat has made a name for itself. It represents the first model of the French shipyard Allures Yachting.

THE ALLURES 44 is a full keelboat with an aluminum hull and composite deck. An excellent synthesis of a cruising boat, it is fast and powerful in rough seas. Ideal for sailing in various regions of the world where the shallow draft allows access to anchorages inaccessible to most keelboats, and very simple to use with its deck layout designed by Michel Desjoyeaux. The Peyron brothers also trusted it during their journey through the ice.

Its design was conceived from the start to combine all the characteristics of a true cruising sailboat: aluminum, full keel, and dedicated technical area.

THE ALLURES 44 is obviously designed for long voyages with a small crew, with all maneuvers brought back to the cockpit.

This ALLURES 44 is a version with 2 cabins. The 2 cabins include numerous storage spaces, an aft bathroom, and a spacious forward owner’s cabin.

The living space offers a headroom of over 6.5 ft, providing a comfortable and bright interior designed for pleasant onboard living. The kitchen is equipped with a large fridge, freezer, and a spacious worktop ideal for real cooking on board. Its lengthwise design on the port side is perfectly adapted for use while sailing, as it is well-secured against the port bench of the saloon. The keel well is perfectly integrated into the interior layout, allowing smooth circulation in the saloon and easy access.

The owners have also chosen numerous options for long-distance sailing in autonomy and safety: watermaker, 510 W solar panels, 6 100 Ah batteries from 2024, Victron converter and charger from 2024, generator.

The onboard electronics are functional and coherent: entirely Furuno.

The Sail Wardrobe includes an Incidences mainsail, a Delta Voile genoa Vortex type 718 sq ft downwind, an Incidence 377 sq ft staysail, a Code D, Delta Voiles 1,292 sq ft on furler, and an Incidence 861 sq ft gennaker on furler.

Remarkable maintenance makes this unit a particularly attractive opportunity.
