Allures 51.9 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an Allures 51.9 means looking at a French-built aluminum flagship designed by Berret-Racoupeau as the successor to the 51 and 52. These are bluewater boats with integral centerboards and composite decks, and the used boats reflect both private and ex-charter histories.
Layouts on the Used Market
Owner three-cabin layouts are the more common on the used market, but both are available, and ex-charter examples are common. The standard arrangement sleeps six across three cabins: a full-width aft owner's stateroom with en suite, a forward double guest cabin, and a bunk cabin, served by a shared head. The saloon is open with a central dining table to starboard and flanked settees, and the galley sits at the companionway. Cockpits are nearly six meters long with split tables and a drop-down swim platform, so buyers should simply confirm which cabin count and owner-versus-charter history suits their plans.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Commonly fitted equipment on these boats centers on autonomy and short-handed cruising. For power and energy, a watermaker, air conditioning, and solar are usual, and the short-handed setup means push-button sail handling from the helm is expected rather than exceptional. For sail handling and canvas, a code zero and asymmetric spinnaker are commonly fitted, with a bimini and hardtop over the cockpit and a swim platform aft. A buyer should verify the generator and lithium bank health, since climate and watermaker loads depend on them, and confirm the furling rig and canvas condition rather than assume a particular mast or sail inventory.
What to Inspect
The builder states that all essential on-board systems — hull passages, fuel and water systems, electrical networks, and technical equipment — are designed from the outset to be easily accessible for maintenance anchor, so check that access paths are unobstructed and labels intact. The aluminum hull is insulated, and an aluminum watertight bulkhead sits forward; inspect that bulkhead and the hull-to-composite deck joint for any compromise. The centerboard trunk and twin rudders should be cycled, and the walk-in engine room checked for the Volvo Penta or newer Nanni installation with clear service history.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
These yachts typically appear in Spain, the United States, and France. For a buyer, the short checklist is: confirm layout (owner three-cabin common, ex-charter common), verify autonomy gear (watermaker, solar, air con, hardtop), cycle the centerboard and rudders, and review the systems-access and hull bulkhead condition before committing.
