@@JohnOrtynsky it happens sometimes with owner specifications, we have looked into many different sailboats over the years and some manufacturers are open to changes. It also might be this one was set as a test yacht for HR and they might have been looking at changing engine manufacturers.

@@01dumbfrog for thé 60 a little more than that and she is worth it;)

@@01dumbfrog no not at all, I like a good whiskey and cigar from time to time depending on the company.

Glad you liked it and thank you for watching;)

Glad you liked it;)

Happy you liked it,😁

Yes

Glad you liked it. 😁

Hi and thank you for your feedback! I shall become more involved « front of house » 😊

@@guyfender5267 we will answer as many of your questions as possible in the Factory tour, but as far as a boat for us we would buy it, it is just we have a deal/projet signed with someone else. Factory tour coming up very soon and updates on future projects and collaboration’s.

That would certainly be a sight to see, we will ask the shipyard if we can beach one 😊

@@stephen8086 it’s coming very soon,

Thank you - we are thrilled you enjoyed it as much as we did filming and sailing! More to come so stay tuned!

because we don't always use them, good charts and knowing the weather and tides are all you need for a fun day out on the water.

Thanks for watching, glad you liked the boat. The video wasn't just about delivering details on a boat it was to provide a structured story and a visual context about the Ovni 370 and how she handles etc. Not all of our subscribers know their way around a sailboat or know all the jargon so we provide as much as we can in story etc. We are providing a 3 min edit for Alubat so yes the video can be much shorter. USP Useful selling point. Hope that helps?

good question, I like the set on this Ovni because I can see everything that's going on whilst having good support for my back. I like to have something to lean against, I am waiting for the 490 though to give that dog house a good going over. I hope that helps😁😆

The factory tour will answer most of your questions. If you still have any unanswered, please do comment so we can send them to Cecilia for you 😊

Did you actually watch the video?

@@speedy963 it’s on its way, well soon, well when I get it finished.

Thank you and it's on it's way soon, we are happy you liked the video.

Thank you for coming along for the sail, the 370 is in our opinion the best sub 40ft blue water boat out there on the market at the moment.

Thank you and yes it is, we had a lot of fun getting to know this 370.

The factory tour is on its way, thanks for watching the video :)

Your order for a factory tour has been received and is being processed 😅

Thanks for your feedback! I can assure you Sarah is looking forward to being on board more too!!

Awesome, she will be pleased.

It's an interesting set of workshops at Alubat so I hope you will like the tour when it comes?

@@igorko2447 Always fun with a Code 0

Hi

@tonyoreilly7196 Alubat is one of the few makers who post indicative prices for a nicely equipped boat on their website. I can't post a link but you can find the price of each model at Alubat America. A well equipped 370 will set you back about 580K euros.

@@constantinealexandrakis Thanks and you are dead right Alubat are one of the few totally open shipyards, and yes starting price is around 475K up to what you have said as an equipt boat.

@@SVTONICBoatWivesin their contracts, Alubat has a clause that they can increase the price by 10% if materials or equipment prices rise. This is completely subjective and they don’t require any proof. Every recent Ovni buyer has been hit with a ‘revaluation’ adjustment before second payment is due. It is always between 5 and 10%. So no, not transparent at all. Beware of this and keep an extra 7% aside for when you get that unpleasant email……

@@constantinealexandrakis Thank you...

@SVTONICBoatWives every time I research a yacht, I find a new requirement to add to my list. If the Sirius DS 35 or 40 came in aluminum, it would be a perfect yacht for me. The Ovni 370 and Garcia 45 are also near perfect. 1. Ability to singlehand, all lines aft 2. Ability to beach / shallow draft, swing centerfold 3. Easy access to all systems and redundancy at that 4. Separate shower room/area 5. In mast or in boom furling if only to make it significantly easier Am I allowed to go on? :) aluminum is my top choice for structural integrity to weight ratio and safety. I would also prefer multiple sources of energy generation and independence. I think it's time I whip out the ol' excel list I've been making 😁

@@SVTONICBoatWives Vital for me- a Shallow Draft, ideally 4ft 6 inches, but as close as possible to 5ft I don't lose access to too many places, Wide Beam with Hard Chine, but with a good below waterline Design matched with a moderate displacement for comfort, A non linear very secure glaaley for safe and secure use underway. Two Dry Heads with sit down Showers. absolutely Vital for protecting Sailcloth from horrific and rapid Sailcloth and Stitching damage, and not just in the Tropics is - In Mast Furling. It is looking ascthough I am going to havecto pay for a new Mast and suitable Standing Rigging to be ablecto getvthis on my next boat as gettingvwhat I need is very rare as not have classic Masts. A KISS principles Sloop Rig with an Aft Cockpit. It looks like I'm going to have to get an experimental Furling Main built, which could take a few attempts to get Right. Post Purchase add ons important for me, are secure handholds above and below deck, An Oversized inboard Diesel Engine, preferably Yanmar Direct Drive - Volvo parts are chronically overpriced so I refuse to reward Volvo for that, plus Yanmar parts Globally are much easier to get. Plus good engines deserve good propellers, and I haven't tested a Flexofold Prop yet. I really Like Oversized Genuine Lewmar Delta Anchors on the end of all high quality triple Galvanised chain, especially how mine performed in a pretty extreme Tornado Storm, so I'm sticking with them tbh. No timber o Deck foot and knee friendly Non slip Only, and white forvthe Tropics. Bridge height friendly Mast taking into account a 6 db gain Shakespeare VHF aerial on the end of low loss cable all the way to the Radio below deck, with proper waterproof connections, for maximum range. A Furling Gennaker for Downwind, and a 140 to 150 % Furling Triradial Genoa with 3 reinforced Reefing Points with Telltales and Offshore construction, or a Reaching Furling Code Zero - depends on chat with Sailmaker.. For the routes I am planning on using, a Watermaker is pretty much an essential tbh. I have never had, nor needed a bow thruster, then it dawned in me, they are like having an emergency backup steering, so why not, as I like ackups. LED lighting saves a lot of power ? Siderail mounted Gas BBQ seems sensible while at Anchor, Pretty nuch default are Spray hood, I India for sun and rain shelter, and onnecting to the Aft Cockpit Arch for help shelter. Have a full I dependent Survey Done if you get a secondhand boat to start off on the right foot, and don't forget to get engine oil tested fairly regularly. Try to have annual haulouts as well so very thorough checks can be carried out. The Convenience of very thorough checks was why I really lo Ed a friend's Macwester 25 Bilge Keel and his estuary Mooring which Dried out onto Clean Sand, as he was forever having Boating I cidents die to not paying attention, so we had to wait for low tide and sky out, to thoroughly inspect his Hull with a Torch, before heading to the Pub, with a how the hell did that not do far worse damage frequently going through our minds. He was a lovely guy, ex Merchant Navy, thought he knew enough, but was bloody Clueless about Sailboats. Still , is Little Mac kept him Sane while his parents were going through end of Life Difficulties, plus upstream to his mooring on the Estuary was a cracking place to be, plus an easy walk to the Pub. A major Win, in other Words. 🤔🌟🌟🌟👍❤️

@@Pxbsd Add as much as you like, we are compiling a list to see how people's needs or wants in sailboats change. We can then make a short list of videos to go through certain options and types of boats and, how or what companies can do custom work etc. Does that sound interesting to you? To be honest I find it interesting to here what you guys relly want.

My wife and my list: (1) Lines to the helm: halyards, furls, outhauls and reefs should be lines that come back to the cockpit. Powered winches are fine, but you shouldn't have to rely on hydraulic or high voltage systems except for windlasses and (potential) thrusters. (2) Ability to protect/canvass the helm: we sail twelve months a year in the Pacific Northwest, where it hovers just above freezing Nov-Mar and only gets to room temperature on the water July-Sept. Need to be able to protect the helm from wind and rain, either through canvass, dodger, a storm helm, or all of the above. (3) Handholds: boat should have robust handholds getting out of the cockpit and then running forward to at least the mast if not further. This also means good mounts for jack lines. (4) Bright salon: whether "deck salon" or not, PacNW winters are gloomy so we need to make the most of the available light. Big windows, preferably at eye level, and 360 degrees views preferred. (5) Storage, storage, storage: a tidy boat is a less stressful boat to sail. A place for everything and everything in its place. Too many "Category A" boats offer only perfunctory storage in the galley and staterooms, much less generally.

@@SuperSventizeMe Very close to our list, thank you for this and some of your points will make it into the up-and-coming😉 projects.

😁🤩😘

We had an awesome time on the boat, this might sound funny but it is a really easy boat to get on with. 😁😄😉

Its Sarah here - yes we had a fab time. A comfortable boat with so much to offer that a mere 45 minutes doesn’t seem to be even close to being enough!

How about the Ovni 430? we will be on that one soon, I am glad you like the change in format as Sarah wants to do more as we started the channel together when looking for our sailboat.
