Aluminum · Expedition · Go-Anywhere
Ovni, Garcia, and Alubat build the benchmark aluminum expedition sailboats: lifting keels, kick-up rudders, crash bulkheads, thick unpainted aluminum hulls, and liveable layouts built for a genuine life on the oceans. These are the boats that let you dry out on a beach, nose into ice, and shrug off a grounding.
These boats are absolute weapons and always at the top of my list. Lifting keels, kick-up rudders, crash bulkheads, amazing layouts, thick aluminum hulls — built for life on the oceans. I'll find or build one one day.
Arctic Allure found and built one that was up in Napa — that kind of project is exactly where my head is.
Photos coming soon. In the meantime, the links above have the best shots of this boat.
Whatever's at the top of your list, Dustin can help you understand it, find it, and buy it right.
