OVNI 455 Year 1998
Designed by Philippe BRIAND and built in Vendée at the Alubat shipyard, this nice voyage aluminium cutter has been maintained with care by her current owner. The 3 cabins + 2 bunk beds inside fittings and the heating and thermal insulation will allow some comforatble ans secure remote sailing. The cutter rigging and the twin rudders make her stiff and reliable at every tack and this blue water cruiser can easily be managed by a short handed crew and even solo. The large cockpit and the aft scoop with an arch and built in davits are very comfortable for your mooring operations. The sailor friendly large U-shaped saloon will welcome your friends and family.
Owner's words
I was cruising aboard this sailboat with a friend of mine who was the owner at that time, and I fell in love with her general design, and how easy it was to manage this ship. I knew that my friend was thinking about selling the ship, so I bought her. I had a lot of fun aboard but I think this voyage ship is underexploited by almost only day-sailing and I would like her to take part in a voyage project I will not make myself.
