| Description | Extraordinary Oyster 62 that is prepared for high latitude. She has sailed 36,000 miles and has just completed a pitstop including new paint. Massively high spec'ed and altogether the business. SPECIFICA TIONConstructionRCD Status: The yacht conforms with the essential safety requirements of Directive 94/25EC (Recreational Craft Directive) and is categorized A OceanHull: The hull is moulded in GRP from female moulds built by Oyster in their own facility under the designers supervision, ensuring a smooth accurate finish. Hull construction incorporates conventional stringer and floors structure.The hull and deck structures are moulded to the designers specification under controlled conditions and all laminating is carried out by hand.Hull and deck mouldings are produced using Lloyds approved gelcoat and laminating resin. On the hull the gelcoat is a special Isophthalic resin and the outer laminates incorporate a vinylester resin and powerbound matts. This combination provides exceptional UV, weathering and water resistance properties.The hull is executed in dark blue Awlgrip paint executed at Berthon 2011. The coveline and twin boot tops are in white.Deck Structure:Moulded in GRP with a balsa core for strength and insulation. In load bearing areas the core is replaced with plywood for additional strength, and all load-bearing fittings have aluminium backing plates. Within the foredeck is a recessed locker, the top part of which may be used for the stowage of kedge anchor, warps, etc., and is fitted with hinged lids and a flush-fitting type locking device. The lower part of this forms the chain locker. Within the aft deck there is a large locker, which will allow the stowage of two 13kg propane typed bottle gas cylinders. A storage locker is incorporated into the portside of the aft coachroof. The liferaft is stowed on the port pushpit. 2 Lewmar Size 60 deck hatches are fitting port and starboard above the owners cabin, to provide added light and ventilation to the aft cabin.The superstructure mouldings are in white gelcoat.Aft a custom Rondal flush hatch fitted with twin gas struts, drain channels, rubber seal and positive closing, gives access to a full width, large lazarette locker.There are mug racks and holders under the sprayhood and at both helm stations.The deck edge incorporates a bulwark. This bulwark facilitates relatively flat side decks whilst providing a good foothold when working the yacht in a seaway. The top of this bulwark is finished with a teak capping in teak. Six 38mm internal scupper drains are installed along the deck edge preventing the topsides from staining when the decks are washed down.The sugerscoop has teak treads on transom steps. Hull and Deck Connection:The hull to deck connection is achieved by the deck sitting on a return flange moulded into the hull. This forms a raised bulwark. The hull and deck are joined with mechanical fastening as well as a GRP bond between flanges. In addition, the teak caprail is mechanically fastened through the flange to give additional strength.Deck Finishes:Side deck, forward and aft coachroof, winch coamings, cockpit seats, sole, helmsmans seats and deck saloon roof are trimmed with laid teak. The teak decking is laid in 48mm wide (approximately) teak planking, using quarter-sawn planks and no visible fastenings, laid on epoxy glue. Planking is nibbed into the king plank and the decking is installed with margin boards around hatches, dorade vents, cabin sides and all major deck fittings.Eyebrow Detail:The yacht is fitted with an eyebrow detail on the main saloon deck house which combined with recessed windows lowers the apparent height of the main saloon. This is executed in the Oyster G5 style. A pair of stainless steel grabrails are also fitted. The roof of the main saloon is fitted with recessed laid teak decking aft of the sprayhood rail.Keel & Rudder:The keel is a high performance bulb (HPB) design.The ballast keel is a lead casting with approximately 2% antimonial hardening bolted to the GRP keel stub with aluminium bronze bolts. Ballast weight is approximately 9,400kg (20,723l) (standard), 10,800kg (23,760lb) (shoal). The GRP keel stub incorporates a wide footprint area to facilitate secure attachment of the ballast keel and a deep bilge sump with suitable limber holes to allow easy evacuation of bilge water.The HPB keel is designed to combine moderate draft with good sailing performance due to its efficient shape and relatively low centre of gravity.FinishesInte rior Joinery:The teak interior joinery is the Oyster Millenium style and is first sealed with a U/V resistant varnish. The final smooth, satin finish is achieved with the last coat in a matt varnish.The companionway steps are finished with gloss varnish and a non-slip coating to produce a secure foothold and added durability.Soleboard s:The soleboards are edge sealed with epoxy and coated on both sides with satin varnish. They are in the Millenium chequeboard style in teak. Spars: Cutter headed sloop with white painted aluminium keel stepped spar by Selden fitted with hydraulic in-mast furling and hydraulic furlers to yankee and staysailBilges:In the engine room the bilges are coated with grey Flocoat.

The standard engine instruments include alarms for low oil pressure and high water temperature, plus a rev. counter, oil pressure and water temperate gauges.A Halyard Marine GRP exhaust water separator and GRP waterlock are installed.Racor fuel filtration system to a duplex system with vacuum gaugeAquadrive couplings are installed at the inboard end of the shaft to allow the engine to be flexibly mounted and to reduce noise and vibration.Maxpower 18hp electric tunnel bowthrusterSteering: The rudder has a substantial GRP blade, foam filled, bonded to a solid stainless steel rudder stock. This is fitted to a substantial protective skeg which includes stainless steel reinforcement. The bottom pintle is attached by way of a through-bolted bronze heel casting.
