2005 Oyster 56

The Oyster 56 is a proven cruising design, with 75 examples built and sailing worldwide. At just under 60 feet with a beam of 16 feet, she offers the combination of manageable size and substantial interior volume. The composite hull is built to Oyster's established standards for seaworthiness and strength, with a design that has remained timeless in profile and purpose.

The deck is laid out for efficient short-handed sailing. A cutter rig features hydraulic in-mast furling and headsail furling, supported by electric winches. The arrangement allows an experienced couple to handle the boat comfortably in most conditions. The interior accommodates four cabins: an owner's stateroom aft, a spacious forward double, a twin guest cabin, and a flexible fourth cabin that serves as workshop space. The saloon is light-filled and classically finished in Oyster's signature joinery. Two heads serve the accommodation.

This yacht is ocean-ready and suited to blue water passage making, coastal cruising, or extended family use. She represents the practical design philosophy Oyster developed for capable, long-range cruising under sail.
