OVNI 435 from 2001
Visible in Les Sables d’Olonne, France
The OVNI 435 is a 100% aluminium sailing boat built by the Alubat shipyard in Les Sables d’Olonne, based on Philippe Briand’s designs.
With its integral centreboard, single rudder and hydraulic lifting system, she is ideal for sailing on all the world’s seas, including the most extreme, as she is insulated with Styrodur.
She is also the perfect size, with two double cabins, two bathrooms, a very convivial saloon, a chart table facing the direction of travel and a technical compartment to house the generator and store various equipment.
First-hand, she has always been very well maintained and has mainly sailed in the Mediterranean.
The standing rigging was replaced in 2022. She is ideal for sailing with a reduced crew, particularly with her bow thruster and electric winch.
Currently in Les Sables d’Olonne, ‘Folazur’ is about to be given a new lease of life as she will be fully inspected, reconditioned and repainted by the REFIT workshop at the Alubat shipyard.
This is also an opportunity for her new owner to add any additional equipment or fittings as required.
