Broker's Comments

A real classic "pocket rocket". A compact opportunity to give those over-rated Contessa's a run for their money.
A fast cruiser optimised by Holman & Pye for the IOR rule, the Oyster 26 was one of the most popular of the early models, with 47 being built between 1978 and 1981. With her heavy fin keel and transom hung rudder, the Oyster 26 is fast, stiff and easy to handle.
This example is in excellent condition and has had a lot of money lavished on her.
She is ready to launch and will give any new owner a lot of enjoyment with a lot of value for money.
Contact me for the full list of improvements that have been carried out on her.
