Alubat Ovni 37 Sailboats for Sale

The Alubat Ovni 37 is a quintessential example of the French "dériveur intégral" (integral centerboard) philosophy, designed by the prolific Philippe Briand and built by the Alubat shipyard in Les Sablesd'Olonne. Produced primarily between the mid1980s and early 1990s, the Ovni 37 was a pivotal model that helped cement the brand's reputation for rugged, goanywhere aluminum cruisers. Constructed from 5083 H111 aluminum with a hardchined hull, the 37 was a direct evolution of the earlier Ovni 35, offering a more refined interior and a larger integrated swim platform, or "sugar scoop," which improved both waterline length and boarding access. The vessel is specifically engineered for highlatitude exploration and shallowwater cruising, featuring a ballasted hull and a fully retracting keel and rudder that allow it to "dry out" or beach in tidal zones with total stability.
