Worth knowing
Alubat / Ovni; cover, cost and conditions
Alubat in Les Sables-d’Olonne builds the Ovni model range and the Cigale models, aluminium blue-water yachts between 11 and 16 metres with a lifting keel and a flat bottom, built to dry out and for waters that a fixed-keel boat cannot reach. It is the French answer to the wish to be able to anchor anywhere.
Aluminium forgives a grounding where GRP breaks, a real advantage in terms of risk. The price is electrolysis: a spent anode or an incorrectly wired shore power connection eats through the hull and the rudder gear within a single season, and corrosion caused by neglected anode maintenance is not covered. An annual anode check and a galvanic isolator are a requirement at a saltwater berth, not a recommendation.
Questions and answers
Frequent questions
What do I need to bear in mind with an aluminium hull?
Check the anodes every year and use a galvanic isolator on shore power. Corrosion caused by neglected anode maintenance counts as wear and tear and is not covered.

As the series is still in production, parts are available and repair costs are predictable. Even so, value it at replacement cost including retrofitted electronics, not at list price.
On sailing yachts the rig and the underwater hull are the expensive parts: a dismasting quickly costs a quarter of the boat, and osmosis counts as wear and is covered by no hull policy.
For a series built in these years the market value and the replacement cost often differ widely. An agreed value removes the age-based scale, and the figure in the policy stands.
