French shipyard Alubat unveil the Ovni 400, their new 100 percent aluminium sailboat.

18 June 2019

Designed by the Mortain-Mavrikios design office, the Ovni 400 features a distinct hull shape with a max beam of 4.35-metre, and an inverted and rounded bow. She promises a very spacious living area while always keeping her seaworthiness.

This new concept’s exterior lines are highlighted by a panoramic roof allows a lot of light inside, with nice visibility allowing you to carry out watches safely.

The yacht will make its world premiere during the Grand Pavois of La Rochelle from 18 to 23 of September 2019.

Proposed in different layouts and various wood species, the sailboat exhibited at the show will be in ash wood with 2 double cabins, a head and a separated shower.

Easy access is offered by a large transom, topped by an aluminium arch for an efficient tender storage. The twin steering station and the mainsail arch keep the cockpit free and friendly.

The interior reveals a very well appointed arrangement with the offset chart table and saloon on port side and the galley on starboard. When you are seated in the saloon, you keep the visibility through the hull hatches.

Set up for blue water cruising, the Ovni 400 ensures a nice performance thanks to her great waterline length, her high aspect-ratio rig, a moderate headsails area, easy handling and her 1 150 kg ballasted lifting keel.

This 100% aluminium sailboat uses recyclable materials, as Alubat looks at a sustainable approach to yacht building.
