Alubat Ovni 365 Buyer's Guide
Shopping the brokerage market for an Alubat Ovni 365 means looking for a 39-foot aluminium lifting-keel cruiser built for remote, long-distance living rather than marina comfort. These are expedition boats first, able to explore shallow creeks and cross oceans from the Arctic to the tropics, so the right example is one whose history shows care for the aluminium hull and its appendages.
Layouts on the Used Market
The 365 is a shoal-draught cruiser with a lifting keel and rudder, drawing 0.77m with the keel up and 2.35m down, on an 11.94m LOA and 3.92m beam. That envelope supports a liveaboard interior suited to remote inlets and bays, though specific layouts vary by individual refit. What stays constant is the aluminium hull — 8,800kg displacement, robust if not bullet-proof — and the beaching ability that makes a tidal or riverine berth a bonus rather than a risk.
Equipment and Common Upgrades
Well-found 365s on the market commonly carry radar, watermaker, heating, solar, inverter, wind generator, AIS, autopilot, chartplotter, EPIRB, and life raft, which together mean an incoming owner can step aboard for extended offshore cruising without an immediate equipment spend. Often-seen additions such as lithium batteries, asymmetric spinnaker, electric winches, freezer, and hot water point to boats that have been refined for shorthanded passagemaking and colder climates. Power and energy clusters — solar, wind, inverter, lithium — matter most for buyers planning independent cruising, while canvas such as bimini and dodger protects the cockpit on long stays.
What to Inspect
The single documented concern on the 365 is electrolysis, and an owner’s blunt advice is to ensure the boat is not a giant anode. Inspect bonding, zincs, and any shore-power or added-metal installations for isolation faults, since aluminium in seawater punishes neglect. The lifting keel and rudder should move freely and show no galvanic attack at their pivots, as these are the boat’s defining and most exposed systems.
Availability and Buyer's Takeaway
Ovni 365s typically appear in Fiji, France, the United Kingdom, and Malaysia. For a buyer, the checklist is simple: confirm aluminium hull integrity and electrolysis protection, verify the lifting keel and rudder operate cleanly, and favor examples with the common offshore suite already fitted. A careful 365 remains a very capable long-distance liveaboard cruiser built to go where fixed-keel boats cannot.
