ALLURES HORIZON 47

Since 2003 Allures have been building yachts that don't sit neatly in one category or another. Rugged explorer yachts with aluminium hulls, the deck and superstructure are fibreglass and as such allow the boat to feel much less utilitarian than some of its all-metal counterparts. This fourth-generation model seeks to take a fresh look at what a blue-water cruising yachts is.

Olivier Racoupeau, Allures' long-standing architect, explained, 'We wanted to orient the boat towards the elements - towards the sea - both visually and functionally, while staying true to the fundamental features of a blue-water yacht: safety, particularly through ease of movement on board. With this new concept, the boat becomes a living spaces, a place for observation and sharing.
