S/V Baboss is now on the market! This 1985 Alubat Ovni 37 Sonate showcases the renowned craftsmanship of the Alubat shipyard in Les Sables-d’Olonne. Designed by Philippe Briand, the vessel is a testament to the brand’s legacy of rugged aluminum cruisers. The Ovni 37 Sonate is constructed of aluminum and features a hard-chined hull. With a versatile design engineered for high-latitude exploration and shallow-water cruising, the vessel includes a ballasted hull and a fully retracting keel and rudder, allowing it to be beached in tidal zones with complete stability.
The interior of the Ovni Sonate is beautifully designed for comfort and practicality and caters to long-term cruising needs, offering a roomy layout with generous headroom and beam. The two-cabin version is especially sought after for its massive cockpit locker and increased galley storage. The galley is arranged for preparing meals while at sea. The head is located aft behind the galley with a manual marine toilet. Across from the galley, the navigation station is generously sized and equipped with ample electronics. Behind the navigation station aft is a private cabin with a double berth, a large opening port, and plenty of storage. The spacious salon features a folding table at the center, flanked by settees that can be used as single berths for extra guests. The forward cabin offers a comfortable double berth and benefits from a large opening hatch that promotes excellent airflow.
S/V Baboss is powered by a professionally refurbished diesel engine that was serviced in 2021. The sails are in good condition and the boat is rigged for a range of sailing conditions, making S/V Baboss a versatile choice for cruising.
Since acquiring S/V Baboss in 2011, the current owners have made numerous upgrades to enhance functionality and comfort. They replaced the rigging in 2012 and installed new sails in 2014, and they cruised the Caribbean from 2015 to 2018. Significant upgrades continued with boom reinforcement, a new teak cockpit and nonskid, a new teak floor, and deck repainting with anti-slip patches. Additional electrical and anchoring systems work was carried out to address corrosion and to improve onboard power. While S/V Baboss is in good condition, she has not been at sea since 2018 and there are a few items that need attention; please inquire for more details.
The Alubat Ovni 37 Sonate is a blue water cruiser capable of exploring the most remote areas while providing comfortable living accommodations. With only a few more upgrades, S/V Baboss will be ready to sail away!
