If you are planning long sea voyages and want to play it safe, you also need to look at the ships from the aluminium forge of Alubat in France. The traditional shipyard with the Ovni brand, which is particularly popular with blue-water sailors, has thoroughly revamped the tried-and-tested concept for a completely new ship and realised it with new design partners. The plans now come from the Mortain & Mavrikios office.

The unusually robust and also massive-looking construction contrasts with a very fine and cosy interior below deck. As standard, the new Ovni 400 is equipped with two cabins to meet the requirements of owners on long voyages. However, variants with three or even four separate cabins are still possible.

The detailed test report of the Ovni 400 can be found in YACHT, issue no. 3/2020. The magazine is available in the DK-Shop, or you can download the report directly via the link below.
