The Horizon 47 marks a new design direction for Allures, introducing the Horizon Frame Concept that lowers the bulwarks and opens the cockpit to uninterrupted sea views while maintaining the structural integrity and offshore safety that the yard’s owners expect. At 14.25 metres overall and 15 tonnes displacement, she sits between the 45.9 and 51.9 in the range, combining comfortable proportions with a sail plan that remains manageable for a cruising couple.nnHer Berret-Racoupeau hull carries the proven integral centerboard, dropping to 3.10 metres for upwind performance and retracting to 1.20 metres for thin-water exploration. The 4.95-tonne ballast ratio delivers confident stability offshore, and the hull shape balances speed potential with the motion comfort that matters on day five of a passage.nnInterior design by Isabelle Racoupeau takes full advantage of the Horizon concept, bringing natural light deep into the accommodation through oversized hull windows and deck-level glazing that would be impossible with conventional topsides. Two or three cabins accommodate four to eight aboard, with the flexibility to configure for extended couple’s cruising or family sailing. The Nanni 80hp engine provides confident auxiliary power, and 650 litres of fuel ensures practical range under motor.

A Nanni 80 hp diesel provides robust auxiliary power, and 650 litres of fuel capacity gives the Horizon 47 respectable range under power for calms and coastal transits. At 15 tonnes displacement, she carries enough mass to maintain momentum through a seaway while keeping the wetted surface manageable for light-air sailing. The centreboarder arrangement allows high-pointing ability with the board extended, while board-up draft of 1.20 metres opens shallow harbours and tidal anchorages that deeper yachts bypass. Twin rudders deliver the helm precision that offshore sailors demand, and beam of 4.70 metres provides the stability platform for confident sailing in varying conditions. Her sailing character should sit between the lighter 45.9 and the more powerful 51.9, offering a balanced blend.
The Horizon 47 shares the welded marine aluminium construction of every Allures hull, with the addition of the Horizon Frame Concept that defines her identity. This design element integrates large glazed panels into the coachroof structure without compromising the structural integrity that aluminium construction demands. The engineering challenge of maintaining hull stiffness while adding significant glass area has been addressed through a redesigned deck structure that distributes loads across new paths. The result is a yacht that looks markedly different from conventional Allures models while retaining the same construction standards and impact resistance. Deck layout follows Allures priorities: wide side decks with continuous rails, a protected cockpit, and hardware attachment points integrated into the aluminium structure rather than relying on composite deck cores.
The Horizon Frame transforms the interior experience. Where conventional coachroof designs create a cave-like saloon illuminated by small hull ports, the Horizon 47 floods its living spaces with natural light from panoramic glazing that wraps the upper structure. Available in two or three cabin configurations sleeping four to eight, the layout prioritises the quality of the primary living space over maximum berth count. The saloon becomes the dominant room rather than a corridor between cabins, with sightlines to the anchorage from every seated position. Joinery follows Allures tradition: selected timbers finished for marine durability, with the craftsmanship that characterises a built-to-order yard. The galley and navigation station benefit equally from the enhanced light, making below-decks living pleasant even in overcast northern waters.
The cockpit of the Horizon 47 continues the panoramic theme, with helm positions designed for visibility and comfort during extended watches. A rigid dodger protects the companionway and forward cockpit seating without blocking the sight lines that the Horizon concept creates. The transition between cockpit and saloon is designed to feel continuous rather than divided: stepping below brings the sailor into the same visual environment rather than a separate compartment. This continuity between interior and exterior living spaces defines the Horizon 47 proposition. In harbour, the glazed saloon serves as a conservatory-style living area that maintains connection with the anchorage. Underway, the visibility from below decks allows off-watch crew to remain aware of conditions without exposure on deck.
As the latest addition to the Allures range, the Horizon 47 represents the yard at its most ambitious. New pricing starts from approximately 984,270 euros including 19% VAT, positioning her in the upper tier of aluminium cruiser pricing. The Horizon Frame Concept adds both material cost and engineering complexity compared to conventional coachroof designs, and the premium reflects genuine structural innovation rather than cosmetic differentiation. Built to order in Cherbourg with the customisation options that Allures owners expect, each Horizon 47 will be specified to her owner requirements. For the buyer drawn to the Allures philosophy of aluminium bluewater cruising but seeking a more contemporary interior experience, the Horizon 47 makes a strong case that innovation and ocean capability are not mutually contradictory.
