{"product_id":"2011-allures-45-ultreia","title":"2011 Allures 45 - ULTREIA","description":"\u003cp\u003eDesigned by Olivier Racoupeau, Allures cruising yachts feature aluminum hulls, fiberglass cockpits and cabin tops, centerboards, and twin rudders.  The benefits of these “Deriveurs” extend beyond their shoal draft and ability to dry out. Downwind sailing performance and comfort are greatly improved with the centerboard raised up into a trunk. There’s no keel to trip over and yaw around. Upwind performance is surprisingly good with the twin rudders and generous form stability of the wide stern. Aluminum is the preferred hull material for strong, easy to maintain blue water cruising boats. A welded centerboard trunk is far better than an underhung, bolted in place steel assembly on a fiberglass hull. When Xavier Desmaret and Stephan Constance founded Allures Yachting in 2003, they started with the Allures 44 and built two dozen of these single wheel, closed transom boats before replacing this design with the Allures 45 in 2010. The Allures 45 features twin wheels, taking advantage of the walk-through transom and other design refinements over the original Allures 44.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eULTREIA\u003c\/em\u003e is hull No.  9 of this model and has three staterooms and a single head with separate shower stall. The original owners, a French family with four children, cruised from Cherbourg to the US east coast via the Caribbean. A custom forward cabin with four bunks, a center storage area, and removable homework station is the “kid cabin” allowing the parents to use one aft cabin with guests in a second aft cabin. The center storage area is easily removed to convert the forward cabin to a true “master stateroom.”\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eULTREIA’s\u003c\/em\u003e second owners cruised the Chesapeake Bay and east coast for the last nine years, hauling and storing ashore in Annapolis under cover each winter. Engine hours are low at 1425. Cruising gear and sails have plenty of life in them due to limited use and include watermaker, staysail on furler, dodger, bimini, solar panel, two spinnakers, AIS, genset, Webasto diesel heater, bow thruster, and spare anchor. \u003cem\u003eULTREIA\u003c\/em\u003e is ready to head south this winter. This is an excellent choice for a family or couple wanting to cruise the Bahamas and beyond. Think of the cruising grounds available with the 3 ½ foot draft!  \u003cstrong\u003eEU VAT tax is paid.
