The first OVNI with a deck saloon
The OVNI 370 is a 100% aluminum sailboat built by the Alubat yard in Les Sables-d’Olonne, designed by Alain Mortain / Yiannis Mavrikios and the CBA design office. This hard-chine bluewater cruiser has a fully retractable centerboard and twin NACA-profile rudders, making it perfectly suited to sailing on every ocean, including the high latitudes, thanks to its full sprayed-cork insulation.
The 370 was the first OVNI to offer a deck saloon with 270° visibility, a design since carried over to the 430 and 490. Built in 2022 and very spacious, it offers a raised panoramic saloon, two cabins, a convertible technical hold and a convivial galley — up to seven berths — ideal for a small crew with the option of having guests aboard.
Recent work: hull repainted (November 2025), house and starter batteries replaced (July 2025), complete sail service (June 2025).
