Accommodation, broker comments.

"The quintessential Oyster and undisputed class leader at this size, the 56 is also our most successful model, with seventy-five launched between 1998 and 2010. Rob Humphreys designed the 56 to be large enough for rapid ocean cruising and to accommodate her crew in comfort and style when living aboard, but also to be small and agile enough to be handled by a couple. The 56 was the first yacht with an ergonomically designed cockpit, the result of working with Loughborough University's Ergonomics department, making relaxing and entertaining a true pleasure, whilst maintaining all the essential qualities you expect from a serious seagoing yacht. She’s a proven performer with class wins in the ARC, and also winning Cruising Class 1 at Antigua Sailing Week, beating a number of more serious racing competitors" - Oyster Yachts."With the Oyster 56, our mission was to design a world-class cruising yacht that would epitomise the features of the Oyster heritage and evolve them to create an ocean-going yacht which appeals to bluewater cruising enthusiasts. The Humphreys team uses extensive tank testing when designing our racing yachts and the concept of the 56’s keel has benefited from this experience. Her stylish, well-balanced profile and generous sail area make the best use of the yacht’s stability due to the low centre of gravity bulb keel. In designing the cockpit of the Oyster 56 - a focal point of its design - we commissioned professional ergonomic studies from the University of Loughborough’s Department of Ergonomics. The result sets new standards in comfort, seaworthiness and safety both at sea and in harbour, and makes for relaxed entertaining and socialising" - Designers notes.Oyster 56/35 SHAYA MOYA is a great example of a yacht equipped for short-handed adventures with family and ocean cruising adventures and regattas. Her sailhandling systems are optimized for a small crew featuring hydraulic in-mast furling to the mainsail, headstay and staysail, along with a hydraulic outhaul, backstay and vang, which in conjunction with electric primary and mainsheet winches, means that sail controls are also easily adjustable from the comfort and safety of the centre cockpit.Below deck, SHAYA MOYA is equipped with six berths in three cabins, consisting of two spacious doubles forward and aft, and a twin forward to port with berths wider than standard. The forth cabin space at midships consists of a workshop/utility with fantastic access to the engine room and ample storage throughout. Finished in Millennium style crown-cut maple, with teak soles, the accommodation is light and bright throughout, with upholstery that is easily adaptable to any taste.Having undergone a comprehensive refit in 2018 with works including a new teak deck, rig pull and overhaul, installation of a completely new Raymarine instrumentation and communication suite, along with new batteries, electric davits, and servicing and replacement of a multitude of additional elements, SHAYA MOYA has been optimised for independent living and is a standout yacht amongst the Oyster 56 fleet.

1998 Oyster 56' Bliss

This vessel is no longer on the market.

This 56' OYSTER was recently purchased and has had some Harvey Damage. There is a current survey available for review so you may see the exterior damage. She has had NO Water penetration to the interior. You will see the damage in many of my photos. The sellers are starting to do some repairs. This could be a GREAT opportunity to own a classic OYSTER at the right price.
