Jeudi 12 mars matin, petite brise à l'horizon, idéale pour une sortie dans la baie des Sables d'Olonne pour l'équipe commerciale Alubat ! Hakim Rahmoun, nouveau Directeur Général d'Alubat, est à la barre de ce chantier naval Sablais depuis janvier 2020 et teste pour la première fois le nouveau voilier de grand voyage 100% aluminium, l'OVNI 400. Denis Vanlaere, Responsable export, assure les réglages pour optimiser les performances de ce dériveur intégral tout confort ! Cécilia Edeline, Responsable commerciale France, immortalise cette sortie derrière sa caméra ;-) et a pu tester avec grand plaisir la manoeuvrabilité de ce voilier dans le Port Olona. A l'unanimité, l'OVNI 400 est réactif et très doux au passage de la vague et l'ensemble des manoeuvres de voiles s'effectuent en toute sérénité et sécurité, bien protégé dans le cockpit. Petit aperçu rapide à travers cette vidéo du plaisir à la barre ! Qui sera le prochain à venir le tester ? On Thursday morning 12th of March, with a gentle breeze, the Alubat sales team has decided to sail around the Bay of Les Sables d'Olonne ! Hakim Rahmoun, new Managing Director of Alubat, has been managing the shipyard since January 2020 and testing for the first time the new 100% aluminium blue water cruising sailboat, the OVNI 400. Denis Vanlaere, Export Manager, takes care of the sails adjustments optimizing the performances of this lifting keel sailboat ! Cécilia Edeline, Sales Manager for France, immortalize this moment behind her camera ;-) and has tested with great pleasure the manoeuvres with this boat in the Port Olona. Unanimously, the OVNI 400 is reactive and very smooth in the waves. The centralization of the sails manoeuvres in the cockpit is very appreciated as it is safe and protected. Here's just a little insight through this video of the pleasure of sailing ! Who will be the next to test her ?

I’ve just left the remote island village of 29 people in southern Japan, where my boat is moored, and arrived in Tokyo for a conference on aging and gerontology with IAFOR ( The International Academic Forum) Before that, I’m walking across the city to meet my Tokyo “MOAI”—a small, regular community that stays connected both in person and digitally. It’s a reminder of something I’m seeing again and again across Japan’s longevity hotspots: Community isn’t one thing. It’s many. And perhaps that’s part of the art of living long and well. Lowell Sheppard is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society, Founder of the Never Too Academy, Special Advisor with IAFOR ( International Academic Forum), and author of ten books. Through Japan Solo, he shares field notes on longevity, community, and independent living across Japan. His forthcoming book, Longevity and the Art of Community: Lessons from Japan, explores how community supports living long—and living well. #JapanSolo #Longevity #Community #HealthyAging #TokyoLife
