Building the Alubat Ovni 370 Aluminum Sailboat

From hull form and deck, to painting and interior finish, tour the Alubat boatyard for highlights of the construction of the OVNI 370. The 370 is the smallest in the range of the popular OVNI designs that are well suited for long-range, liveaboard sailors.

The new inverted bow design not only gives a longer waterline length, improving performance, but it also expands the interior volume for living space and storage.

The raised salon aboard the OVNI 370 provides a panoramic view. Large windows surround the interior space and bring in lots of light and ventilation.

I am dreaming! Come on publisher's clearing house. Beautiful sailboats. My favorite on my dream list.

Love the boat. I see myself living in it for years.

My absolute dream sail boat…but I might never be able to afford one 😢 great video with awesome detail

Thanks! Good tour! A lot to like. Agree Aluminum is the way to go, not just for durability but also for better relation with the environment. Aluminum is completely recyclable. Plastics should be avoided, including plastic composites.

Plastic composite hulls can be easily penetrated by rocks, coral, containers, logs, etc. Aluminum bends long before it breaks.

Really fantastic. Your quality of build is super impressive!

Saving up for the release in 2025, the only affordable short handed sailing yacht capable of a northwest passage crossing. It ain't easy sailing in Canada ! Love the raised seating area. One question, can you request the hull be painted ?

Why not a saildrive with a skeg in front of it??? Seems like a logical choice with a 370.
I love the Sirius 35ds and the Alubat 370. They are both so utilitarian in a small package. 👍

You know if you put a great big moon roof right in the center of the cabin you can move bigger objects through the moonroof before you put in the glass.

I'd love to see the stability curve of this vessel? What is her ballast ratio and AVS?

What a dreamboat. I woould sail around the world butt-nekkid

I don’t like bowsprits very much, they don’t evoke a sense of reliability if you need more space when turning. But the underwater part of the bow gives a smooth entrance to the wave, like the ancient Viking ships and ancient Slavic inhabitants by the sea (pomor)

il faudrait arrondir les angles du mobilier!!!

Hopefully a practical and high quality boat but unfortunately not very pretty.

Why every singe boat who was built in last 10-15 yrs looks like cheap office?
