Construction
Sources
Dimensions/displacement per sailboatdata.com for the coachroof-sloop/aft-cockpit configuration; 65 hulls built 1983-1995. The model was highly configurable (coachroof or deck-saloon, aft or centre cockpit, ketch or sloop/cutter rig, retrousse or counter stern) so specs vary by individual boat -- used the sloop/aft-cockpit baseline. Reported sail area (1,014 sqft) reflects a 150% genoa configuration rather than a strict 100%-foretriangle figure, per sailboatdata's own reported convention for this listing. Hull bottom laid up in isophthalic (polyester-family) resin with an epoxy barrier coat, per Oyster Yachts' own material. Mast is Kemp (Selden) anodized aluminum alloy, keel-stepped, double spreaders. Verified 2026-07-09. [Rudder/tankage/electrical update, 2026-07-16]: Skeg rudder: GRP-molded blade on a stainless steel shaft, fitted to a heavily reinforced skeg. Fuel 90gal (341L), water 180gal (681L). No holding-tank or electrical-system data found.
