1998 ALUBAT ONVI 43 French sailing yacht walkthrough For Full-Length Video – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4M-f6tPZ4UA The Ovni range of alloy built, lift keel cruisers have built an enviable reputation as durable, “go anywhere” blue water cruisers. Arguably the lifting keel allows them to explore waters out of the reach of normal cruising yachts. Bought to fulfill a long-held blue water cruising ambition. YCHOU III is a 1998 Alubat Onvi 43, and the seller is the second owner of the boat. YCHOU III was purchased in France and has sailed the Mediterranean, South of France, across the Atlantic, Caribbean, Bahamas, east coast of the USA, New York Island Sound, and Florida where it currently resides. The boat was bottom painted in mid-2021 where the lift pump for the keel was also serviced. Standing rigging was replaced in 2014 prior to its Atlantic crossing. New Air Conditioner installed in 2021. Background on a Quality Long Range Cruising Sailboat The Ovni 43, an aluminum lifting-keel cutter, was designed by Philippe Briand and built in France by Alubat. https://www.alubat.com/ Since 1973, ALUBAT has been designing, building, and commercializing 100% aluminum boats for blue water sailing. 100% aluminum means that the hull, the deck, the coach roof, and the cockpit are all made of aluminum.

A favorite stop during our Sea of Cortez/Midriff Islands dive trips is Bahia de Los Angeles where we snorkel with whale sharks. These gentle giants come into this bay to feed. We use the local boats to take us into the bay. The crew looks for the whale sharks and then 4 people can get into the water with them. Sometimes they swim by quickly (there is absolutely no way to keep up with them ) and sometimes they are just happy to eat. We can even see multiple whale sharks at one time! Remember the three rules of snorkeling with whale sharks: 1) Don't touch the whale shark, 2) Don't touch the whale shark, and 3) Don't touch the whale shark. He he he!
