OVNI 490 Preview by Alubat
Переглядів 22 тис.9 місяців тому
Introducing the new OVNI 490 by Alubat. The 490 shares the same hallmarks of the Ovni range: shaft drive, full sailplan, centerboard, and spacious interior with a raised salon layout. What sets the OVNI 490 aluminum sailboat apart are the pilot house and twin engines. One of the benefits of the pilot house is a protected environment in all weather conditions, while the twin engines increase you...
This Sailboat has a Superpower!
Переглядів 12 тис.10 місяців тому
Beyond the aluminum hull construction, Alubat sailboats all have a superpower - and that's the centerboard. The benefits of navigating shallow waters, beaching and traversing canals are obvious, but another consideration is sailing in heavy weather. We asked Luc Jurien, CEO of Alubat to explain this to us. #alubat #aluminumboats #offshoresailing #centerboard #bluewater #bluewatersailing #expedi...

This boat could be safely beached?
Absolutely.

Love that boat. Hope to see more of it.

Why every singe boat who was built in last 10-15 yrs looks like cheap office?
Murazik Forge
Some people have strange dreams... not mine misses 😂
Maybe it's a false problem. What's important is the underside of the boat, the priority is not to sink the vessel. Any other ideas on the subject?
Favorite boat of all time cant wait to purchase it
In the past two years, Price of OVNI has increased about 38%, which is really too expensive
Is there a longer version of this video, please?
Thanks for an interesting video. I own an older OVNI and it was fascinating to see how they are constructed. I should love to visit the factory. At 10.27, Luc refers to “Some of our competitors…” that build boats not entirely constructed from aluminium. I think he is referring to Allures, which have an aluminium hull and a GRP deck and transom. He mentions the rationale for this; being able to fit out the interior with an open hull, which allows for faster construction and therefore reduced cost. Luc generously doesn’t dwell on the fact that a consequence of the Allures’ design is that these boats have a seal between the deck and hull that must remain watertight for the life of the boat. However, aluminium and GRP have different degrees of stiffness and different coefficients of expansion, so a small amount of differential movement between the hull and deck assemblies is inevitable. Over time, this differential movement will fatigue the seal. Plus, (as anyone who has owned an aluminium boat will tell you), nothing sticks to aluminium forever, not even paint. So how Allures can guarantee the watertight integrity of whatever they use to glue the hull to deck for the entire life of their boats is a mystery to me.
Your response and insights are greatly appreciated. Thank you!
what do they do for electrolysis? sacrificial anode or otherm methods?
what what type of hull/keel does that boat of theirs have? doesnt the no keel design make it unstable?
funny they never mention the price. 2 million. Crazy.
Tbf the Garcia expedition and the Bestavaer yachts give a more practical option. Now, all i need is a shit ton of £$€..
New Subscriber here! 😃👋
Добрый день. Как с вами связаться ? У меня есть интересное и выгодное предложение .
Where do you find a modest 30 foot aluminum sailboat?
Both beauties
Love this boat.
did i just watch a 5 minute ad that doesnt answer the question in the title? wild
If considering a monohul, this got to be a dream boat. Not just for high latitude sailing, as people keep mentioning. Rough weather occurs also in the Caribbean and the aluminium hulls are sturdy yet low maintenance anywhere. I love, that Alubat now has included the deck saloon option. One room for improvement: Now you got that nice technical space/ storage room it would be awesome to have a bigger (longer especially) hatch, so you can dump a full size bicycle into it without having to dismantling the whole thing.
That jib is not a solent… Nice Boat, well thought out and well built
These are only disadvantages to the builder not the owner.
It's all connected by many factors. A boat that's cheaper to build may be cheaper to buy, but more costly to maintain, etc. So pros and cons of both. That said, a boat that's better built to begin with is probably a better value long term, so I agree with your point. For these and many other reasons, Aluminum seems an ideal material for a boat.
OVNI 370 reinava absoluto entre meus barcos dos sonhos, agora tem um concorrente a altura: Bestevaer 36. quem dera um dia eu precise me decidir entre um ou outro!🙏🙌
The fact that you know that everything inside the boat fits through the door is a big advantage for the owner of the boat, I would think.
Excellent point!
I love these boats.
Nice video, but where are the prices on the website?
Hi - You can find all the pricing on our website at alubatamerica.com/ - choose the Ovni you want to see for a complete equipment list and pricing.
@@alubatamerica Thank you. The issue was that I went to the corporate site, not to Alubat America.
@@SuperSventizeMe no problem - let us know if you have any other questions. You can reach us at rob@alubatamerica.com
So beautiful every detail

I am completely in love.
My dream boats.
The color of the 430 is slightly normal, but the arrangement of the panel and the window in the window are simply.
The main reason to prevent me from buying is the indoor color matching and design of the indoor color, white, dark gray, black, cobalt blue, metal. I can only evaluate this very creative, especially the design of the salon table. Its folding seems to be full of snakes.🤣🤣🤣
Nice boats. Great design But as an aluminium and steel fabricator of 30 years I would like to say that when you weld a plate around the edges there is some shrinking and this gives the opportunity to introduce a little convex curvature to the transverse frames in between the chines, also as the plate bends and twists around the hull, curvature doesn't always follow the form taken by the transverse frames. I may be wrong but this opportunity to obtain a more optimal shape may not have been utilised in the Alubat range. Dennis Ganley is an example of a designer of the past who understood the full benefits of metal construction. The metal coils around the hull and doesn't always conform to the transverse frames. I am sure with cnc programming anything is possible and I invite Alubat to look into it. It would cost no more in build time as frames are now cut by cnc and it would minimise the need to pull the plate to the frames in between the chines quite as much and create a stronger more cosmetically pleasing hull that's less prone to oilcanning.
Indeed, and we have to take into account all those properties of aluminum before we even start on the design process. To do so, we anticipate how the aluminum plates will position themselves, helped by a collective 140 years experience in aluminum construction between all our architects, and 50 years for our shipyard. We don’t use the frames to force our shape of hull, we rather first design and optimize the hull itself, without any frame, in order to get the cleanest curves possible, taking into account the particularities of the material. The idea is that we could theoretically build the hull only with the plates, and still get the same shape. Then, and only then, we decide on where to put the frames, depending mostly on structural necessities. Finally, we use CNC to get the most precise shape possible, so we’re confident in the cleanliness and esthetics of the curves we designed. The thickness of the aluminum plates also tends to reduce the shrinking and other effects of the heat, and we tend to put every chance on our side : the chine is made by the edge of the upper plate, the welding line being a bit deported inwards, making for the cleanest chine possible visually, and giving us a little boost of structural integrity in this area. Finally, we actually want and strive for a bit of pulling during the assembly, as it provides some pre-stressing to our plates, increasing once again the solidity of our hulls, and giving it the exact form we designed.
I believe this is called "trying to teach your grandmother how to suck eggs".
That looks AMAZING!!!!
How customizable is the 370? Can you lower/ angle the hard dodger more? I know you can go with a canvas dodger but I like the idea of a hard dodger. I just don't like how bulky it looks. Kind of ruins her lines.
Yes. The nice thing about aluminum-built boats is that the design is not restricted by molds as in other production fiberglass-built boats.
WOW! She flys! 9.4kts in 18 kts of wind off the beam!! Thats Catamaran levels of performance. How well do the chines hold the boat on a heel?
That's exactly what the chines do, and the boat tracks beautifully.
How do I see thier adventures?
