Our Yacht

 

Mahi, an Ovni 365 was built in 2007 by Alubat in France. She is an extremely strong aluminium high performance cruising sloop. The boat is designed with safety and comfort in mind, and is a fast passage maker. Her lifting keel enables us to explore anchorages and harbours inaccessible to other yachts.

The interior is bright, airy and well finished in light oak, providing comfortable accommodation. The boat has six berths arranged between two cabins and the saloon (4 guests and 2 crew). Due to its configuration the boat has ample storage which is a real benefit on longer expeditions and carrying specialist gear. The saloon is large and comfortable with seating for six around the main table. The cockpit is deep and secure when windy, and the cockpit table allows us to dine outdoors when the weather is suitable. We have a single 'heads' with flushing toilet and hot shower, and a fully equipped galley so we enjoy good food. The boat is fully insulated and all cabins are centrally heated.

On board we have a wall mounted TV & DVD player, CD/ IPAD player, a small library of books, films and navigation teaching aids. We have an extensive and up-to-date inventory following a refit in 2013, which includes:




Electronics
Self-steering Auto pilot, Navtex, AIS Receiver, SIMRAD chart plotter and radar at chart table, GPS, VHF, and Garmin chart plotter and AIS in cockpit.

General equipment

Electric anchor windlass, Roller furling genoa, slab reefed high performance hydranet main sail with single line reefing to the cockpit, staysail, storm jib, parasailer, dingy with outboard, 240v inverter, solar and wind generator supplementary power supply.

Safety Equipment

The Ovni 365 has been built by Alubat with a CE certification to Category A Ocean rating, and the boat has recently undergone a Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA) Category 2 coding certification. The boat is equipped with an ocean-rated life raft, life jackets, and EPIRB.
