28' Alubat Ovni

Featured in the March, 2013 issue of "Good Old Boat", CanCan is a beautifully re-fitted Alubat Ovni Sonate with a well thought out, professionally designed stern arch and mast tabernacle system that, coupled with her custom trailer, allows her to be trailered anywhere.
CanCan's aluminum hull features a retracting swing keel and and retractable rudder in a cassette, giving her a shallow draft and a low profile on her trailer, while still offering standing headroom below.
Having sailed everywhere from Lake Havasu to Lake Huron (and many places in between), CanCan is the ultimate trailer sailer, just waiting for her next owner to take her on her next adventure.

Highlights Include:

• Welded aluminum hull built to European CE standards and rated for Category II “limited offshore” duty.
• Modified rig, which, along with custom stern arch and mast tabernacle, allows mast to lay down for trailer transport
• Retractable swing keel and rudder
In-boom mainsail fuller
• Auto-Prop H-5 self pitching prop
• Beta 16 with less than 100 hours
• Amcor 12,000 BTU Air Conditioner

CanCan's hull is made of welded aluminum (5086 series) plate and is of “hard chine” construction. The bottom is painted with non-corrosive E-Paint. The hull and the entire boat were built to European CE standards and are rated for Category II “limited offshore” duty.
A custom aluminum rear arch has been added to facilitate supporting the mast when it is in the travel position which also contains solar panels and supports the outboard motor for the inflatable. The boarding/dive ladder is attached to the rear arch and folds up vertically for storage. The radar and wind generator are also supported by the arch on telescoping mounts that lower for trailer transport.
CanCan has tiller/rudder steering with a custom built RudderCraft Kick Up rudder with gas supports to facilitate the raising and lowering of the rudder.
