Alubat Ovni 385

Littlewing - Alubat Ovni 385 - 12m lifting centre board aluminium yacht - UK VAT Paid

Our family has owned Littlewing for the last two years. We sailed her up from Poole to Glencoe in 2023 and this year have spent 3 months exploring the west coast of Scotland on her. Our plans for sailing internationally have been put on hold until our daughter is older so we have decided to downsize in the meantime.

We have fitted new standing rigging, anchor windlass, rudder bearings, and safety equipment in the form of liferaft, epirb and fire extinguishers. The three cabin, two heads layout has been great for family life and having guests on board. We have spent multiple weeks with 4 adults, toddler and dog in comfort and she sleeps a maximum of 8/9.

There are a few areas needing attention depending on the purchaser's preference. Namely some window seals, hydraulic seals, paintwork, sprayhood.

She is on the hard near Oban paid up til spring 2025. Viewing available 7 days per week.

2022 survey with hull measurements available to serious parties.
