OVNIs are well known blue water sailboats, aluminum built with a lifting keel, offering a unique combination of safe worldwide sailing and easy access to shallow anchorages. After crossing the Atlantic from the United States to France, this 455 spent the last 10 years cruising the European west coast in the Atlantic, and the Mediterranean for one or two months during the summer. It was hauled out for maintenance and storage for the rest of the year. The hull is in sound structural conditions with no corrosion. The boat is well equipped for blue water cruising and life on board with a lot of spare parts and accessories that are included in the sale. It has three separate sleeping cabins, eight berths and two heads, a very ample dinette and galley. It is documented with the United States Coast Guard and currently is US flagged. In 2023 the boat has undergone an extensive refit including all new standing and running rigging, removal and servicing of all deck gear, repainting of the deck, replacement of the plexiglas for all hatches, new lifelines, installation of LED lighting on the mast, servicing of all winches, and more.
