Designed by renowned Swedish naval architect Lars Olof Norlin and built by Allegro Marin Ab beginning in 1989, this 39-footer represents solid Scandinavian cruising philosophy with a focus on seaworthiness and comfort. The masthead ketch rig provides excellent sail handling options for shorthanded sailing, while the traditional long keel configuration delivers the kind of directional stability and sea-kindly motion that makes for relaxed offshore passages. With a displacement of over 20,000 pounds and nearly 9,000 pounds of ballast, this substantial cruiser prioritizes stability and load-carrying capacity over pure performance. The generous beam of just over 13 feet creates spacious accommodations below, while the moderate draft allows access to a reasonable range of harbors without sacrificing the tracking ability that long-keel designs are known for. The boat's comfort ratio of 28.66 indicates a motion that favors easy living aboard, making it well-suited for extended cruising rather than racing. Combined with a capsize screening value of 1.91, these numbers suggest a design intended for serious offshore work where safety margins and crew comfort take precedence over speed. This makes the Allegro 39 particularly appealing to couples or small crews planning extended coastal cruising or ocean passages.
