Night Swan, a beautiful Oyster 485, is a well-proportioned yacht that looks good from any angle and offers a combination of excellent performance, ease of sail handling offshore and comfort under way.Her deck saloon configuration creates a light, airy saloon and unbeatable ventilation. The 485 is well proven as a blue water cruiser, with numerous ocean crossings and at least one, sistership, has circumnavigation to her credit. This design features a low center of gravity, high performance bulb keel, and a fully-protected skeg-hung rudder. Performance was demonstrated in an Olympic triangle race during Antigua Race Week, when two 485s led the fleet and showed tremendous speed, particularly to windward. The standard sloop rig is set up  with in-mast furling, which enables all sail handling functions to be undertaken from the cockpit.

 The Oyster 485 has a spacious owner\'s stateroom aft featuring a centerline berth which makes the cabin feel light and airy, particularly in warm climates. This stateroom also incorporates a large head within which is a separate stall shower. Forward there\'s the usual Oyster-type \"walkthrough\" galley, which is ideally located within easy reach of the cockpit and saloon. Both sides of the galley feature counter space, and ventilation is assured with a number of adjacent opening ports.

 The saloon uses the yacht\'s maximum beam to good effect and contains a pair of oversized opening hullports for use while at anchor or dock, which allows good athwartships ventilation. In addition, really good fore-and-aft ventilation is offered by the deck saloon with its two opening forward windows. There are screens for the companionway and portlights. The saloon table is a \"clam\" type design so it can be used in the small size, closed position, typically for drinks or informal gatherings. The table then opens to provide a much larger surface for dining by means of an ingenious pair of additional leaves that unfold from underneath when the table is opened from its \"clam\" position.

Night Swan\'s accommodation has one double cabin forward to suit those owners looking for a yacht with just two cabins, but offers a very high standard of comfort comparable to the owner\'s stateroom for two guests.  All berths are fitted with lee cloths.

On deck right aft there is a large-size lazarette locker and adjacent propane gas cylinder locker, so that all the usual cruising amenities have suitable stowage. At the end of the aft coachroof there is a pair of large bin lockers with enough space to house a life raft and other safety equipment on one side, with more than enough room for fenders, docklines, and other gear that needs to be kept to hand when sailing. The stern platform has a folding bathing - safety ladder and provides an ideal place to board the yacht from a dinghy. It also houses an optional flush mounted locker for a hot and cold freshwater deck shower.
