Oyster 625

625/09 MAKARA - AVAILABLE

OUR AWARD-WINNING OCEAN-GOING SAILBOAT

BROKER’S COMMENTS 

Conceived to bring significant improvements to the already successful Oyster 61 and 62 ocean-going sailboats, the triple award-winning Oyster 625 is a sub 20m sailing yacht designed for easy sailing.

Building on what were already proven Oyster yachts, Humphreys Yacht Design devised an improved hull form to provide this ocean-going sailboat with increased performance and handling. Other enhancements included a sportier rig, increased space in the master cabin, and the choice of several interior arrangements, including the option for a forepeak layout to accommodate a full-time crew member if required.

The 625 offers spacious interiors for a sailing yacht below 20m, with generously proportioned galley, a full-beam owner’s suite, two en-suite cabins forward and a fourth cabin that could be configured as a workshop, a guest cabin, or a children’s cabin, with access from the master. During build, the option was given for direct aft-deck access from the master cabin via a sliding companionway.

In this design, particular emphasis was placed on outdoor living, with safe navigation and easy sailing facilitated by a large cockpit, flat aft deck and forward sundeck. Her design showcases a cleaner, more modern bulwark profile, with wide side decks and integral fittings for easy movement from bow to stern. The smoother, flush lines of her foredeck provide more deck space than the Oyster 62 ocean-going sailboat.

Below decks, the 625’s saloon houses what are now the Oyster’s signature triple ‘Seascape’ windows, with three vertical portlights set into the port and starboard sides of her hull, providing a new perspective of her cruising grounds and breathtaking views out over the water – a real superyacht feature.

With an overall length of just under 19.4m (63.5ft), the Oyster 625 has a displacement-length ratio of 182 and a sail-area displacement ratio of 22.3 making her a true ocean-going sailboat that delivers outstanding performance and comfortable cruising in the 20m sailing yacht class.

OWNERS’ COMMENTS

“Makara was our full-time family home for over 20 months and took us smoothly and safely around the world as part of the OWR22-23 to the most breath-taking places and through varying sea conditions and weather, she has effortlessly navigated every challenge. She is a solid and dependable as she is stunning and graceful. She excels and delivers on every level and is as happy blue water trans-ocean sailing as she is exploring hidden bays and coves in the South Pacific, the Mediterranean or in the Caribbean. Makara has fulfilled our family’s sailing dreams far beyond imagination, and we reciprocated by our unwavering love and attention, and the meticulous care by our dedicated professional crew, allowing her to always present and perform at her very best. Owned by sailors, she has been fine-tuned and optimised for comfortable days and nights at sea and rig and sail handling designed for ease of use and short-handed sailing, she stands ready for any spontaneous adventures. Any new owners stand to gain immensely from the expertise and meticulous attention given to Makara by us and our crew and her numerous recent upgrades.”

1. CONSTRUCTION

 

HULL NUMBER

 Oyster 625.09.

 

HULL CONSTRUCTION

 A composite construction, moulded from female tools developed by Oyster in their own custom facility, closely supervised by the Oyster Design Team.

Hull moulded using a combination of vinylester and polyester resin with the outer topside finish in a white special NPG gelcoat.

The laminate material comprises of a combination of E-Glass, Kevlar and Carbon Fibre specially designed for the yacht by the Oyster Design Team’s own structural engineers. This custom laminate offers significant weight savings, strength and stiffness advantages over a normal GRP construction.

Topside laminate incorporates a high-tech, foam-cored, E-glass/Carbon sandwich above the waterline for additional strength, stiffness and insulation. This core is applied using a vacuum bagging technique.

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.

Annually hauled out for changing of necessary anodes, antifouling and any additional metal work required (last hauled December 2023). 

 

HULL FINISH
