Ovni 43 'Lotus'

New to our fleet for the 2008 season, ‘Lotus’ is an aluminium Ovni 43. Manufactured by Alubat of France, she really is a world girdling, go anywhere yacht. 'Lotus' is the same model as ‘Aventura III’ used by the celebrated sailor Jimmy Cornell to complete tens of thousands of miles during his great ocean travels circumnavigating the globe.

 

At 43ft. she weighs in at only 8.5 tonnes (3.6 tonnes of internal lead ballast) .She has a hydraulically operated rudder and centre board, which when raised, gives her a draught of only 0.8m: This allows access to many more remote, secluded and usually inaccessible anchorages. Turn up late to one of the more popular haunts and you’re usually assured of finding a spot, as she can occupy areas too shallow for the vast majority of yachts. In fact, if the seabed is suitable she can even be allowed to dry out.

 

If you’ve experienced most that the European production boats have to offer, and would like to experience something new, then a charter aboard this fantastic yacht could be for you.

 

‘Lotus’ is cutter rigged, with a fully battened main, furling genoa, and carries a spinnaker and stay sail as part of her sail wardrobe. She is equipped with a colour plotter, radar, DSC vhf and hydraulic autopilot as part of a comprehensive inventory.
