1. CONSTRUCTION 
 
HULL NUMBER
Oyster 655.05. 
 
HULL CONSTRUCTION
The hull is a composite moulded construction from female tools developed by Oyster in their own custom facility, closely supervised by the Oyster Design Team to ensure a smooth and accurate finish.
Produced using a polyester gelcoat, and a Vinylester laminating resin that is recognised as having excellent UV resistance and waterproofing qualities suitable for use in a tropical environment.
Incorporating a high-tech custom, monolithic (single-skin) E-glass/Carbon/Kevlar composite laminate, specially designed for Oyster by one of the world leaders in composite yacht design, High Modulus.
The HMCK (High Modulus Carbon Kevlar) monolithic system is a ‘balanced’ laminate designed to give ultimate structural properties between the laminate layers.
This ‘custom’ laminate offers significant weight savings, strength and stiffness advantages over a normal GRP construction, carbon for weight and stiffness, Kevlar for impact resistance.
The composite hull skin is reinforced with a matrix of stringers and floors both above and below the waterline, which produces a robust structure with excellent strength to weight qualities and proven longevity.
Bulkheads are plywood. Limber holes and/or tubes are installed at appropriate points.
Stringers, bulkhead-landings and floors are formed over a non-structural, inert, polyurethane foam.
Additional reinforcements are included in the way of the keel recess, the keel longitudinals, mast bulkhead, P-bracket, forestay, and hull stringers.
 
HULL FINISH
White hull colour with cove line and double boot top lines in standard Oyster blue. 
Hull waxed and polished (2023).
Antifouled, in navy - re-coated (2022 & 2023). 
 
DECK CONSTRUCTION
Deck laminate incorporates an end-grain balsa for both insulation and panel stiffness.
In load-bearing areas the core is replaced with either marine plywood, or high density foam.
The deck laminate specification has been specially engineered by High Modulus to optimise strength-to-weight ratio and cosmetic finish, with E-Glass being used throughout.
  
DECK FINISH
Weather deck, cockpit seats and sole areas finished with quarter-sawn teak planking, laid using epoxy adhesive with no visible fastenings.
G5 deck styling with modern flowing lines and sleek looks both outside and in, whilst maintaining the Oyster trademark and reputation for a light and airy deck saloon.
The deck edge incorporates a bulwark, which facilitates relatively flat side decks whilst providing a good foothold when working the yacht in a seaway. The top of this bulwark has a clean GRP finish with a modern and stylish ‘rolled’ edge that enhances the yacht’s visual appearance with a graceful sheer line. 
Internal scupper drains are installed along the deck edge preventing topsides from staining when decks are washed down.
Vessel is fitted with a stylish curved roof to the main saloon deck house, which combined with recessed windows, lowers the apparent outboard profile of the deck saloon.
The main saloon roof has a laid teak finish aft of the sprayhood that folds neatly into a recessed trough. Forward of this, white non-slip paint is applied to the central area.
A pair of stainless steel grab rails are fitted on each side on the outer edges.
 
KEEL
High performance bulb (HPB) external lead keel. 
 
RUDDER
Fully protected skeg-hung rudder.
 
STERN DESIGN
The ‘sugar scoop’ stern design incorporates a recessed platform, especially useful for bathing and boarding, finished with laid teak.
A fold-down stainless steel bathing/boarding ladder with oval tube treads, and four moulded GRP steps trimmed with teak treads are incorporated into the transom for easy access to the stern deck. The ladder is fitted with a lanyard and retaining pin for retrieval/stowage.
 
EURCD
