An OVNI 430 built in 2023 is being offered for sale at Port Leucate after returning to Alubat last winter for synthetic teak to be added across the deck. The boat has a 2-cabin layout, an OceanVolt ACX20 electric motor, a Fisher Panda AGT generator and LiFePO4 batteries, and its owners say it has cruised Norway, the Mediterranean, Scotland and Ireland.
Alubat has put the 2001 OVNI 435 Folazur on view in Les Sables d’Olonne. The 100% aluminium cruiser, built to Philippe Briand plans, is now at the yard’s REFIT workshop for a full check, reconditioning and repainting.
Naval Group said the French frigate Amiral Ronarc'h has completed a long-duration deployment that took it from the North Atlantic to the Gulf of Mexico. The company said the trial is intended to validate systems, crew performance and interoperability before a first major maintenance stop in Brest between September and December 2026.
