Oyster 48Lw

Oyster 48Lw - NEW LISTING

Oyster Azul is at the final stage of a winter works programme. This includes a strip back of the dark blue top sides and a professional repaint in light blue. She has recently been treated for osmosis and has received a full osmosis treatment and at the same time, the owner has elected to apply a copper coat to the hull for additional protection.  All seacocks have also been serviced or replaced where necessary.

On deck, she features an in-mast furling sloop rig. Her lightweight hull and good lines ensure sleek performance, yet the in-mast furling system with all lines led aft to the cockpit enable short handed sailing.

Below decks she is furnished in teak joinery and can accommodate 6 in three cabins. She features a fridge, microwave, holding tanks and heating.

Oyster Azul is now for sale due to a change in the owners plans and lack of time to go sailing.

OWNER’S COMMENTS

We bought Oyster Azul in 2008 and sailed her from Ipswich to Lagos Portugal, unfortunately our only long trip. Business commitments have prevented us from cruising in her as we had hoped. Usage has been restricted to short day trips along the Algarve coast. Sadly we have taken the decision to sell her in ready-to-go condition and hope her new owners will get the use from her that we had planned. She sails beautifully and is easy to handle short-handed with her furling genoa, electric furling mainsail and electric self-steering.
