Ovni 435

Renowned for being the 'four-wheel-drive of the Sea' Ovni's boast an exceptional reputation for their build quality, bluewater capability, and comfortable interiors. With their tough aluminium hulls designed to cross the world's toughest oceans, these quality vessel's are often found exploring the most remote and pristine cruising grounds. Their unique lifting keel and rudder configuration also allow the vessels to explore the shallowest creeks and anchorages, and can even be beached. Ali Di Gabi is an excellent example of the design, she was brought by her original Italian owners who enjoyed sailing her around the Mediterranean and then set off around the world. Ali has enjoyed regular maintenance and an extensive refit during this time. She was then purchased by the current owner who has repainted her, all new hatches and windows, new engine and transmission, new electronics, new heads, new batteries and solar, reconditioning and servicing of nearly all systems to bring her up to excellent condition over the past two years whilst enjoying sailing the Queensland Coast. With Ovni's few and far between in the market, this vessel now presents a rare opportunity to enjoy a seriously capable and comfortable yacht which can fulfil even your most ambitious sailing aspirations. Whether you want to explore the stunning waters of Australia, enjoy the liveaboard lifestyle, or head off on the ultimate adventure, this is a vessel that can do it all with ease!
