In October, the Grand Pavois in-water boat show at La Rochelle, France, will include a look at evolving plans for the OVNI 370 and OVNI 430.
These boats are designed by Mortain-Mavrikios and CBA naval architects, and are built in Les Sables d’Olonne by the Alubat shipyard. They are sisterships to the latest model in the range: the OVNI 490.
With the OVNI 370, the team has added a watertight double door. Developed in collaboration with Goiot, it opens to 90 degrees with a locking system that secures the door in the open position. The aluminum frame, seals and closing handles are designed for watertightness. The smoked plexiglass structure provides privacy while letting in light.
The galley has also evolved, with the option to integrate an additional cooler (refrigerator or freezer) in the worktop with top access. There’s also a refrigerator opposite the companionway under a central seat. Options such as a suspended sail locker or a stove can also be installed.
Aboard the OVNI 430 Deck Saloon, there is a raised chart table and dining area. This version, combined with a panoramic deckhouse, allows sailors to keep watch from inside The raised saloon also has stowage under the access step, under the seats and behind the backrests, complementing numerous compartments in this aluminum bluewater cruiser.
When will we learn more about the OVNI 490? The first hull is under construction now, and the boat is expected to premiere at Grand Pavois 2025.
