Alubat Ovni 490 Sailboats for Sale & Market Overview

The Alubat Ovni 490 represents the flagship evolution of the French shipyard’s longstanding philosophy of the "integral centerboarder." Designed by the Marc Lombard Design Group, this 14.99meter aluminum bluewater cruiser is engineered for highlatitude exploration and longdistance voyaging where durability and beachability are paramount. Unlike many modern cruisers that utilize composite materials, the Alubat Ovni 490 is constructed entirely of 5083 H111 aluminum, offering a strengthtoweight ratio and impact resistance that few production yachts can match. Its distinctive inverted bow and hard chines are not merely aesthetic choices but are functional elements of a modern hull shape intended to maximize waterline length and stability.
