Ufo 495 - Alubat

Alubat is characterized to offer very safe and marine aluminum boats designed for oceanic navigation and with the capacity of running aground in any beach, thanks to its retractable keel. New Ufo 495 takes the relief to its brother the 455 with eleven years in the market.

Not only one is to give continuity to his line of sailboats. The French shipyard takes a new course in its designs staying faithful to its philosophy to offer sailboats of folding keel, integral Aluminum construction and capacity truly “Blue to water”. The important thing remains and the forms evolve, especially in the zone of “rouf” with one more a cover smoother than it follows the tendencies of the present designers.

 For that they think about a boat able to confront long passages and with the security that offers an aluminum helmet, new Ufo 495 will be an option to remember very. The behavior of aluminum against an impact or in a hypothetical shock or arrastrón in chorales is very different from the one from the fiber glass. The aluminum can be become deformed and be dented without getting to create a fracture or cracks, with consequent and the dangerous one via of water. Therefore he is safer. They are swift-sailing more able to hold wild seas and to cross moved away seas of the tropical.  

His architect Philippe Briand has managed to offer rounder forms mainly and one more a more inhabitable bathtub. Now the displacements are not interrupted by the steering wheel and winches of maneuver is within reach. Lewmar 58 for Genoa and another near pair for escotas of the pawl, that also we will be able to use to handle the coiler of Genoa.

On the stern mirror lacado in target surprises the ample arc and that serves as support to be able to lower and to raise the aid thanks to a device of devised good hoisting. The arc also supports the fixation of the antenna of the radar and the Gps, as also it is worth for later facilities of Bimini and the Aeolic. Not in vain the Ufo is a boat enabled for any transoceanic navigation. ´

The government wheel is smooth and offers a good tact in spite of the double rudder. Just by 8 wind knots “the very alive” Ufo samples and is responded frankly to our hints in the rudder. And to it helps the good warlike with a Genoa of 70 meters squared, trinqueta plane of 27 m2 and guards 50 major of m2.

The interior is pleasant and functional with versions of up to 4 cabins and two baths with shower. It is observed a luminous change in the pleasant decoration with wood in clear oak and tones. Starboard we see the kitchen in which kitchen of comfortable form when serving the endorsement as the central bank like site in which to be able to hold to us and to support to us. The refrigerator receives an original location and thought when allowing a fast access by any crew member well.

The habitability also has improved in the hall that now a thought good distribution with furniture offers and central bank of two places under which the retractable keel hides that allows to vary the openwork from its maximum of 2.81 meters to only leaving the totally ready bottom for running aground to 0.95 meters of openwork. This drift is driven by means of an electrohydraulic piston of great power that allows to its ascent or slope in only 10 seconds. Naturally also it is possible to use it of form manual in case of failure of the electrical system of the boat.
