The Ovni 41 stands as a definitive example of Alubat’s mid1980s transition into the premier builder of "goanywhere" aluminum cruisers. Designed by the prolific Philippe Briand, this model represents a pivot point where the rugged utility of the lifting keel met refined hull lines capable of significant bluewater passages. Unlike contemporary fiberglass production boats, the Ovni 41 was engineered for the sailor who prioritizes structural integrity and the ability to navigate shallow estuaries or highlatitude ice. Constructed from AG4 MC aluminum alloy, the vessel offers an impact resistance that remains the benchmark for expedition yachting. Its hardchine hull is not merely a stylistic choice but a functional one, providing initial stability and simplified construction that allows for a robust, "bulletproof" feel at sea.
