The Ovni range of multi-chine cruisers are very distinctive: built in aluminium alloy with a centreboard allowing drying out safely. All Ovnis are very strongly built, and are popular for extended cruising. With almost 12 ft beam, the interior is quite spacious and is fitted out beautifully in oak joinery. The topsides are usually left in bare aluminium, though a few are painted.

Sailplan

Alubat has been building yachts in aluminium since 1974, with the first of their multi-chine centreboard designs in 1978. Since then all Ovnis have been similar in nature, built in welded aluminium, and normally are sold and used with largely unpainted hull sides.

The hull is 5083H111 grade aluminium plate, internally and externally welded in an argon/helium atmosphere. The hull base and centreboard have lead ballast sealed in resin, the majority of this ballast being internal. The lightly ballasted centreboard is raised with a tackle from the cockpit, and the rudder is lifted hydraulically, with a mechanism that allows it to lift in case of an accidental grounding. As with all recent Ovnis, there is a large fixed stern gantry onto which solar panels, electronics etc., can be mounted.

The Ovni 345 model was designed by Michel Joubert of the Joubert & Nivelt design office, along with input from the Roseo yacht styling company. The Ovni 345 was built from around 1996 to 2006, at which point it was replaced with the very similar but slightly larger Ovni 365.
