Alliaura

Feeling 55

Alain Rabineau took over Jeantôt Marine in 1996, a shipyard founded in 1985 which built sailing catamarans, Privilèges, and power catamarans, Euphories. Alliaura Marine has been shaped by several shipyards, and around a family of devotees. I have disabled the link because they have problems. I'm sure someone will contact me when the site will be back again. That's the reason I have inserted here a map with the place they're shipyard can be found, at Les Sables d'Olonne.     Just scroll, zoom, transform the view type, whatever. They have a network, presented on the web differently, because they are French. What they make is presented separately on other four sites, in the following order: Privilège, TransCat, Feeling and Tresco Line The following models are manufactured under Alliaura's wing. Privilege 445, Privilege 495, Privilege 515, Privilege 615, Privilege 745, Privilege 1000 With a LOA of 13,45 m (44' 12"), a Beam of 7,07 m (23'20"), a Draft of 1,35 m (4'43"), and a Displacement of 8,9 tons (19,620 lb), the Privilege 445 has a 2 x 40 HP Diesel engines As it isn't hard to guess, the Privilege series is named after their LOA in Feet.

Anyway, if you are smart, you are not selling your boat or any boat, waiting to be "researched" by potential customers, as the site pretends, :). They are of good help generally speaking, because there are some tricks you have to do to come up in any search there, so your chances to sell as a broker, are greater. Nice, isn't it? It is, indeed. Now because of their dynamic change, I come up with another two or three lists of yacht manufacturers, with some of the names from my previous list, present or not, depending the rank, the number of listing, I don't know, there are a lot of factors, I'll expose maybe later or never. I'm eliminating … [Read more...]
