Alubat Ovni 47

1993 Ovni 47 | Rare Aluminium Bluewater Cruiser | Hull No. 3 of 4 Built

A rare opportunity to acquire a highly distinctive Ovni 47, "Shindo" is hull number 3 of a reported four examples built. Just two owners have cared for her since launch, and she has never operated in charter service. She combines the renowned strength of aluminium construction with the offshore capability for which the Ovni range is known.

The owner completed a full teak deck renovation in 2025. "Shindo" also carries a comprehensive cruising inventory, including a watermaker, Webasto heating, a bow thruster and an extensive sail wardrobe. These features support long-distance cruising, offshore passages and extended periods aboard.

Below deck, the Ovni 47 offers two double cabins, a third bunk cabin that converts into an office and two heads compartments. The spacious saloon features new Alcantara upholstery, while the large chart table creates a dedicated navigation area. The fully equipped galley also adds comfort and practicality for life afloat.

Built in aluminium for strength and durability, the Ovni 47 suits both coastal cruising and ocean passages. Her centreboard design opens access to shallow anchorages, while her offshore pedigree inspires confidence at sea. Whether cruising locally or planning longer adventures, "Shindo" provides a capable and versatile platform.

Currently lying in Licata, Sicily, her rare production history, impressive cruising inventory and proven bluewater credentials make "Shindo" a unique opportunity for sailors seeking a distinctive aluminium cruising yacht with genuine collector appeal.
