Allures 45. The ideal bluewater cruiser?

Chris you do a wonderful job showing boats

Good reviews, at least for the few parts when he tries to actually articulate.

Very decent yacht. thoughts are whether the keel is lead, iron, and type as others mentioned.
Second is that the performance in my humble opinion is below average. For comparison, our CS30 cruiser/ racer with 5 large Newfoundlanders on it was running a consistent > 7.5 knots on a beam reach in 15-20 knot wind. That's similar to this yacht. Further, I tend to disagree with the reviewer about it being "fully loaded". Naval architects and engineers have studied this issue endlessly and essentially result is: in a monohull, increasing displacement by large amounts like over 10% reduces speed by 1-2%, whereas muliihulls are effected in a more 1:1 fashion.
Anyway, I would expect more performance from a boat of this size, especially being aluminum + more stiff, and with the newer form stability form factor ... beamier aft section

I'm a loozzzerrr

I used to sail back in the 80's & boat design has come so far since then. All the little details have been thought out & major things like swim steps, running all the lines back to the cockpit and roller furling jibs are standard now. We got a roller furling system around 1982 or 83 & it wasn't cutting edge but it got attention around the marina. People wanted to see it & ask how we liked it.
No doubt sailing is still work but new designs have added many conveniences & gotten rid of many of the daily hassles. I really like many new boats out nowadays. Hopefully I will be able to eventually get out on the water again.

I'm curious about these yachts. Does having the centerboard instead of a weighted keel make it heel farther?

Another great review...

Not bad. Way too much heeling and no counter space in the galley. What year did it come out?

He is hard to understand, sounds like he has cotton balls in his cheeks. Get someone that can speak clearly. . . .

Would love to see more comparison versus the Garcia 45... her sister ship? How's the engine access... eg. change the starter, belts, impeller ok

Very interesting review. Does she have the dingy davits on a separate hinging bar? Can you put a dingy on Her Al Arch davits and still fit an Auto Steering Wind Vane System on her?

can someone borrow me 200 k?

E N U N C I A T E

how much

Lovely boat, one of the best in this size range I've seen. Think it's the first time I've seen a washing machine on a yacht too lol

nice boat - this guy does the best reviews

Fixed keel, analog controls on all sail management and rudder option, fresh water maker system, fuel cleaning system and just 1 steering wheel and this would be my dream world cruiser, i am in love :)

Ok it is official I am addicted

Trouble with this Allures 45 is she has shallow side boards and she is slow, when doing 7 or 8 knots canted right over with the side board buried and one rudder out of the water, good thing she has two.

quanto custa este barco?
