1 . CONSTRUCTION

HULL NUMBER Oyster 575/12.
HULL CONSTRUCTION A composite construction, moulded using a combination of vinylester and polyester resin with the outer topside finish in a white special NPG gelcoat. 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, for additional strength, stiffness and insulation.
Below the waterline, the hull features a monolithic (single-skin) composite laminate, with an Aramid/Kevlar layer, reinforced with a matrix of stringers and floors.
Combined with BS1088 standard marine-ply structural bulkheads, this produces a robust structure, with excellent strength to weight qualities and proven longevity.
Additional reinforcements are included in the way of the keel recess, the keel longitudinals, mast bulkhead, P-bracket, forestay and hull stringers. Limber holes and/or tubes are installed at appropriate points.
Stringers, bulkhead landings and floors are formed over a non-structural, inert, polyurethane foam.

HULL FINISH White hull with cove line and double boot top lines in standard Oyster blue. Hull and topsides cut and polished (2016).
Hull bottom re-antifouled, and all hull exterior zinc anodes replaced (2016).
Ultra 20 Series II electronic antifouling system fitted with two ultrasonic transducers (2016). Re-antifouled (September 2023).

DECK CONSTRUCTION Moulded in GRP with balsa core.
Oyster 575 deck styling sets new industry standards, with modern flowing lines providing sleek looks inside and out, whilst maintaining the Oyster trademark and reputation for a light and airy deck saloon.

DECK FINISH Teak laid decks. Deck improvement work, and non-slip deck areas repainted (2019).
The deck edge incorporates a bulwark, which facilitates relatively flat side decks.
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.

KEEL Shoal keel.

RUDDER Fully protected skeg-hung rudder (serviced 2016).

STERN DESIGN ‘Sugar scoop’ transom design incorporating a platform instep, which is especially useful for bathing and boarding and is trimmed with laid teak. Two stainless steel steps with teak tread inserts are fixed on transom for access to the stern deck.
