The boat as a centerboard (deriveur integral), not a lifting keel as is wrongly translated in the English comments. This is very different as the lifting keep would mean that the righting moment is influenced by the lifting status of the keel, while a centerboard's lifting status has no impact on righting moment.
I like this boat very much. The shoal draft lifting keel is a must and the custom hardtop Bimini. This would be a top choice. Add electric furl boom and electric furl Genoa. Large stainless davits.
Very nice, I especially like the hard dodger, not exactly this particular dodger design but like the idea. Aluminum Hull is particularly interesting and worth concidering. Not looking for fast, more in the line of stable which means slower, which makes it more comfortable in long passage. Lifting keel, like the idea, just never used one before but like weighted keels so I don't know. Over all a very nice yacht
Aluminum hull is all good and dandy but how do you fix (weld) it in the middle of nowhere? If you go cruising I'll doubt they have aluminum welding equipment in remote areas...
I like hard dodgers, but they have to fit the look of the boat too. And YES, I noticed that the design came from the owner. ;) What I always miss on boats like this is bigger fuel capacity. For a 'go-anywhere' boat I'd like to have at least fuel for 300-400 hours. When having a fuel driven heater I want even more fuel on board. Anyway, a very nice boat, though I'm still considering the 45.9 model: 100,000 quid less. (y)

Is it also designed for solo sailing?

I'd take a portable electric/gas aluminum mig welder if felt that was a viable concern after studying the boat...
i like french name " allures" its a nautical term for good trim = also it means beautiful
No engine room??!!!!!!

Nice boat but ugly dodger.
Owner wish, not real factory dodger
Form follows function.
Thought it said it was in English. Aluminium is English, Aluminum is American, which is not English. Just kidding. Nice yacht, worth considering.
