OVNI 490 : turning over the hull

An impressive maneuver

Built upside down on its template, the hull was “unmolded”. Then it was checked by penetrant testing to test the tightness of the welds.

After this test, an impressive maneuver took place at the Alubat shipyard in Les Sables d’Olonne : turn the hull of this 100% aluminum sailboat dedicated to the blue water cruise.

Now that the hull of the OVNI 490 is upright, she will be assembled. Her deck with her cockpit and her pilothouse designed to receive two people comfortably to ensure well-sheltered watches will be added.
