Alubat Ovni 395 (2005) – Fully Equipped High-Latitude Expedition Yacht

Summary: An exceptional, blue water turn-key example of the legendary Philippe Briand-designed aluminum lifting-keel cruiser. This vessel features rare factory-applied insulation and a Reflex diesel heater, making it fully equipped for high-latitude exploration or ultra-comfortable all-season cruising. Fastidiously upgraded for total off-grid autonomy with a massive 800Ah Victron Lithium bank, 1.1 kW solar array, premium sail wardrobe, and a state-of-the-art B&G electronics package. A major mechanical and rig overhaul was completed 3 years ago (new rigging, transmission, and all bearings). Highly sought-after 2-cabin layout with a dedicated starboard technical workshop. EU VAT Paid.
