New ovnis

[wklein]

Not neccisarily, the old ones were pretty spacious if not quite as open. I suspect the change in style is due to reducing number of welds and bends for financial reasons

Would be interesting to know if they have actually sold any. I follow RM yachts on Facebook and they definitely seem to be selling high 10s of yachts a year. I wonder what the figures are for rustler, gt etc over here?!

Was looking at a 42' RM yacht in Guernsey and wondered what thickness ply they used for the hull. Any idea?

The 1020 was 18mm and glass epoxy sheathed. Suspect the 1200 that you saw would be 25mm - but the hull does not take keel and rigging loads as there is a galvanised steel frame inside.

I think the Evolution was built (or at least offered) alongside the "traditional" Ovnis for a while. I suspected it was the result of someone requesting a custom design and said design hen becoming available for "production" as the expensive bits had all been done.

It's of a similar design to Jimmy Cornell's latest boat; I don't like either. I do like the current crop of standard ovnis, though, but would take a boreal in preference (not that either is likely at present...)

Join the queue: there is ME, then CAMELIA, then.... (well, if we all win the lottery, that is )

No, no, Camelia then TiggerToo.

I am on my way to place my order. Cash in hand. In my dreams

Call me a traditionalist, but they seem to have lost their way compared to what they were building just a few years ago:

This one, I like

That is a very fine cruising boat that I would buy in a heartbeat if I was in the market and had the cash.
