The Ovni 455 represents a pivotal moment in the evolution of Alubat’s "dériveur intégral" (fully lifting keel) philosophy, emerging as a refined, bluewater flagship designed by the prolific Philippe Briand. Launched in the mid1990s as a successor and larger sibling to the widely successful Ovni 43 series, the 455 was engineered for highlatitude exploration and longdistance tropical cruising alike. Constructed from marinegrade 5083 H111 aluminum, the hull is characterized by its distinctive hard chines and robust scantlings, offering a level of structural integrity that fiberglass contemporaries cannot match. The 455 is not merely a "utility" vessel; it integrates Briand’s signature aesthetic—a sleeker coachroof profile and a more balanced sail plan—making it one of the most soughtafter models on the secondary market for serious circumnavigators.
