Building and historic

Type OVNI 455 full aluminum centerboard sailboat, built in 2000 by the Alubat shipyards of Les Sables d'Olonnes, according to architect Philippe Briand's plans. It is rigged in cutter and thus has two sails of front: genoa and staysail, plus a mainsail, which gives him a sail surface of 140 m2.
This sailboat is known for the strength and lightness of its aluminum hull. For its draft of less than one meter, drift recovery, ideal for Polynesian lagoons. Finally, for the customization of the layout of the boat: the deck, deck hardware, mast, sails, electrical equipment and all instrumentation. A thousand pages of technical documentation have been produced for its construction, making it already a unique vessel.

Engine

Volvo Penta TMD22 78CV turbocharged - three-bladed propeller Max Prop (2000h)
Three alternators coupled to the engine, total power 4.5 KW
Fuel tank: 2x400L

Rigging

Staysail: 31 m² instead of 15 in standard, making it a medium to strong sailing weather. It allows to drive in very comfortable conditions even with strong wind.
The mast has 3 stages of pushing arrows bars. In this way the position of the staysail stay coincides with the last stage of arrows bars.
The stays and turnbuckles were oversized.
The balance of the boat is perfect and the feeling of bar very pleasant.
Great genoa (for the light weather or the medium, so it is never half-rolled in navigation).
Mainsail (fast reefing, operational in less than 2 minutes from the cockpit)
Spinnaker
All modifications of sails, sheets, halyards, automatic reefing, windings of the genoa and staysail, spinnaker and various adjustments are done safely from the cockpit. It is not necessary to move on the roof.

Electricity

12 solar panels of 12V (17W unit) mounted in series / parallel
24V voltage can reduce all online losses by a factor of 4, and increase the real performance of devices such as propeller and windlass
 2 completely separate battery farms, each with its alternator, charger, solar panels and all control systems - alarms, amperes and percent counters, voltmeter, ammeter, ... (if necessary the 2 parks can be paralleled)
Chargers and alternators with optimized charge curves for batteries
Gel batteries with high charging current to optimize charging times
3 engine starting options: on 12V battery reserved for the engine, on one or other of the 12V midpoints of the two 24V parks
8 gel batteries for a total capacity of 13.4KW (Changed in June 2013, each weighing 50kg, they are placed in central position, under the floor of the square and on the lead ballast of 4.5 tons)
3 alternators motor 2x28V 80A, 1x14V 50A is 4,5KW hitched on the motor
Northern Lights 1500 RPM 6.5 KVA Generator Set
All this electrical installation works for 17 years without any problem
