    Un chantier naval aussi réputé que celui d'Alubat ne devrait pas avoir un aménagement intérieur de ses bateaux d'une qualité aussi médiocre. Changez d'urgence vos designers d'intérieur Ce n'est même pas le niveau d'Ikea, c'est même en dessous du niveau de Leroy Merlin.

      I have only sailed an Alubat with the double mainsheet arrangement a few times, so I'm not able to speak at length about it. I like it a lot and how it acts as a preventer at various angles of sail. The very experienced sailors (and I'm not exaggerating when I say very) at Alubat feel very strongly that it is a better option for these vessels than a traveller.

    A question. You talk in the clip about a centerboard being in place. However, on the AluBat Americas websites that I have visited they talk about lifting keel. Obviously, those two concepts are not the same (the former not ballasted, whilst the second is). In the original language (FR) AluBat website they talk about a "dérive" witch literally means centerboard. So, could you clarify, please?

    • @alubatamerica

    • @alubatamerica

      Aluminum has a natural resistance to corrosion in salt water because it forms a thin layer of aluminum oxide over its surface when exposed to oxygen. This layer prevents further oxidation and corrosion.

    @Jarek12010 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    I have to say, as an aluminum boat designer for the last 25 years, these hulls look pretty good, in spite of using purely cylindrical surface development, which results in straight transverse sections. Of course the straight sections are easier to fabricate and reinforse with off the shelf (sixty- something) 6061T6 Tbar or angle. The bow round is a bit ugly, but this is the result of the cylindrical develpment compromise. A bow cone of some sort would look a bit better, to my taste. The argument for not continuously welding the transverse ribs is right, but for the wrong reasons. It is true that you do not have to weld frames continuously, but this is because they are strong enough stitch welded. However, not welding them in case of Ovni is because the 6061T6 alloy looses a lot of strength after welding. And they use 6061T6 stiffeners because this material is cheaper than 5083, so they do it to lower the cost of the fabrication, not necessarily to make a better boat.

    • @alubatamerica
      @alubatamerica 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thanks for your compliment about the design of our hulls, we appreciate it! With the long experience of our shipyard in aluminum boats, and even longer experience of our architects, we actually decided on not using fully cylindrical surface development. Instead, we use the properties of aluminum to our advantage, in order to have an additional slight curve in the opposite direction of the main curve. This creates a slight tension in the hull, and thus a more elastic and resistant hull, which is strongly desirable in blue water cruising ships like ours. That also means we use a mix of off-the-shelf aluminum profiles (where possible because of the curves of the ship) and profiles we assemble in our shipyard (cut outs from the same 5083 aluminum sheets as the skin of the hull), to perfectly shape every curve of the hull, as the resulting transverse sections aren’t exactly straight. We actually don’t use 6061T6 for any of the profiles in the shipyard (although it’s the alloy of choice in aerospace), but we prefer stronger aluminum alloys. Although, ultimately, it doesn’t really have any meaning in the strength of the resulting boat; the ISO standards we hold ourselves to take into account both the alloy used and the welding process in structural calculations. Meaning every boat should be able to handle the same pressures, whichever aluminum alloy she is made of. Of course, with a weaker alloy, it will mean a denser structure than with a stronger alloy, but the resulting hulls will withstand the same conditions. We understand the bow round can be seen as ugly by some, but it can’t exactly be called a compromise; we decided to try it on the first Ovni 400 of the new Ovni range, and carried it on for every new Ovni design since then, as this voluminous (and actually conical) shape offers very comfortable sea-keeping abilities to our sailboats; at least according to everyone sailing on board. But to each their own, there's no accounting for taste! Luc Jurien
