Famous circum-navigator Jimmy Cornell went to visit the Allures Yachting Shipyard on 5^th July to test the 45.

With more than 70,000 miles under his belt on board Aluminium cruisers as well as writing over a dozen books on cruising and his adventures he has a very good idea on what is essential and important on an ocean going yacht.   He certainly appreciated the numerous qualities of this inivotive yacht with variable lifting keel draft.

Pending the publication of his article Jimmy had already noted the amazing performance of these new and impressive lift keel centreboard crusiers with Aluminium hullsa and GRP topsides. www.alluresyachts.co.uk www.allures.fr
