Remarks
The Oyster Lightwave 395 is designed to be a fast cruiser/racer. The owner has taken care to increase the comfort of Blue Pearl without compromising on her racing ability. Hasn't been used recently so needs some attention in areas. Lying Bangor, North Wales.
Accommodation
The accommodation is spacious and bright. Down below is a saloon with galley and nav station, a large aft cabin, a forecabin, and a good sized heads compartment. The upholstery is in good order.
The saloon provides ample seating and has a table which can be deployed or folded away. Two single berths can be created here. There is a double in the forecabin and an offset double with seat and dry locker in the large aft cabin.
The heads compartment has a handbasin, shower, and covered shelving.
There is a wet locker as well as plenty of dry storage.
The galley comprises a Plastimo Neptune two burner stove with oven and grill, fridge, and sink with pressurized hot and cold water. Hot water heated by calorifier or immersion.
