Veleros que aguantan el mal tiempo y los que nunca lo haran

En mi base de datos solo hay cosas del Alubat 345 y del 435. Sus STIX son 31 ( Clase B) y 35 ( Clase A). No tienen un buen AVS aunque tienen fama de ser buenos oceanicos.

No hace falta que te diga que para un 43 pies,35 de STIX es poco, falla algo

Me gusta muchisimo mas el 36 pies de Roberto Barros que has puesto, sin ninguna duda, te lo avala el STIX, esta muy claro.

POr ultimo hasta donde yo se no hay nada que mida mejor la estabilidad dinamica que la experiencia en alta mar o llevarse a un ingeniero naval contigo, poner sensores por todo el barco y volcarlos a un pc

Hola a todos, con el animo de enriquecer el post, pero mirandolo desde otro angulo, os pongo la respuesta a una pregunta sobre la estabilidad de su Ovni, que le hacen en el foro de su web a Jimmy Cornell, gran navegante y autor entre otros del famoso libro Wolrd Cruising Routes.

Ovni FAQs

Questions about OVNI yachts sent to Jimmy Cornell have been dealt with over a number of years. As a result some of the answers listed on this page may be out of date or even irrelevant. Jimmy completed a five year circumnavigation on Aventura III in 2006. Since her launch in early 1998, Aventura III has covered over 70,000 miles. Late in 2009 Jimmy sold Aventura III.

How stable is the boat bearing in mind that it has a centerboard? The question of stability generally (not just for the OVNIs) is a tricky one, and I must admit that I am not an expert on the theoretical aspects of it. Looking at it purely subjectively - and having sailed some 30,000 miles on the OVNI43, including crossing Drake Passage twice (once in winds over 50 knots) as well as being battered in Le Maire Strait -



I can say the following: apart from the inherent stability factor itself, a lot depends on:

1. Sea and wind conditions
2. How the crew handles/steers the boat
3. Luck (good or bad!)

I believe that if you encounter the wrong conditions at the wrong place at the wrong time... you will probably capsize the QE2.! My feeling is that with 3.5 tons of ballast, the 43 is quite a stable boat. So if the boat is sailed properly, reefed early, etc you have absolutely no reason to be concerned. As far as I know, of some 600 OVNIs built in the last dozen years (between 30 and 45 feet LOA) none has capsized or got into any serious trouble because of its design.
