Wiki Wiki Detailed Specification

1. CONSTRUCTION

HULL NUMBER
Oyster 575/04.

HULL CONSTRUCTION
Composite development, moulded from female tools developed by Oyster in their own custom facility.
Moulded using a combination of vinylester and polyester resin with the outer topside finish in a white features NPG gelcoat.
The laminate material comprises a combination of E-Glass, Kevlar and Carbon Fibre.
The topside laminate incorporates a high-tech, balsa-cored, E-Glass/Carbon sandwich above the waterline.
Below the waterline, the body features a monolithic (single-skin) composite laminate, with an Aramid/Kevlar layer reinforced with a matrix of stringers and floors. Combined with BS1088 basic marina-ply structural bulkfronts, this produces a robust structure with excellent strength to weight qualities and proven longevity.
Additional reinforcements are included in way of the keel recess, the keel longitudinals, mast bulkfront, P-bracket, forestay, and body stringers.
Limber holes and/or tubes are installed at appropriate points.
Stringers, bulkfront landings and floors are formed over a non-structural, inert polyurethane foam.

HULL FINISH
‘White’ body with cove line and double boot top lines in basic Oyster ‘blue.’
Last haul out and bottom paint in 2022. Next scheduled for April 2023.

DECK CONSTRUCTION
Moulded in GRP with balsa core.
In load bearing areas the core is replaced with plywood for additional strength, and all load-bearing fittings have backing plates or large washers.
Deck styling includes modern flowing lines providing sleek looks, interior and out.

DECK FINISH
Side decks, forward and aft decks, cockpit chairs, sole and helmsman’s chairs are cutmed with laid teak.
Fore and aft coachroof tops and cockpit coamings are finished in ‘white’ gelcoat, with ‘white’ non-slip deck paint applied to appropriate panels.
Hull to deck connection is achieved by the deck sitting on a return flange mounted into the body.
The deck edge incorporates a bulwark, which facilitates relatively flat side decks whilst providing a good foothold when working the yacht in a seaway. The top of this bulwark has a clean GRP finish, giving a modern and stylish ‘rolled’ edge, enhancing the yacht’s visual appearance with a graceful sheer line.
