Oyster Regatta -Valencia 2007

In some circles, the new 46 could be called an entry-level Oyster, but only size-certainly not style and workmanship-separates it from its lengthier sisters. The new Oyster is the first to sport the builder’s G5 styling, which can be seen in the profile of the deck saloon, with its double curves and contours. The 46 replaces the Oyster 45, offering 15 percent more volume below and a hull off the board of Rob Humphreys that delivers better speed and stability than did its predecessor.

The 46 we sailed for this review in the Solent, off England’s Isle of Wight, was fitted out with the standard 7-foot-1-inch deep-draft keel (a shoal-draft keel, at 5 feet 9 inches, is available) and a full-battened main, roller-furling genoa, and an asymmetric spinnaker. In-mast furling is also available. In about 14 knots of wind, the 46 sailed at 6.5 to 7 knots closehauled; with the kite up and on a close reach, the knotmeter fluttered nicely above 8.5 knots.

Belowdecks, a teak interior is executed with fine joinery throughout the three-cabin/ two head layout. The center cockpit above means a roomy aft stateroom underneath, and the cabin has an en suite head that contains a shower larger skippers and mates might find tight.

Aside from that, the 46 serves up all the luxury and elegance you’d expect to find in a sailboat with a $1,500,000 price tag. Designed with the cruising couple in mind, the Oyster 46 should take a shorthanded crew afar in safety, comfort, and style.

Boat Review: Oyster 46

The new 46 handled the light morning breeze well and was soon catching boats that had started ahead of us. Once clear of Narragansett Bay, the course led eastward to Cuttyhunk. The turn at R2 and R2a brought the wind abeam and then onto our quarter, so we were able to hoist the asymmetrical chute for optimum speed. We were one of the first boats to get a big sail up and drawing, so we cleared the last turning mark in third position and soon slipped away into first place.I am not sure what was going on aboard the other boats, but we had Thales heated up and really sailing quickly. It seemed we had a knot or more of speed on everyone behind us, except the lovely Oyster 72 Magrathea, who was picking her way steadily through the fleet and catching us. A mile or so from the finish line, Magrathea pulled abeam and then slid by under the press of her huge spinnaker to cross the line a few minutes ahead of us. Thales soundly thumped the rest of the fleet, much to the delight of her owners and crew.

LIVING ABOARD  The 46 has been designed from the keel up to be a comfortable couple’s cruising boat that can accommodate children and visiting friends. The cockpit is where we live most of time in good weather and a lot of attention has gone into the ergonomics. The mainsheet traveler is mounted aft, where it is handy to the helm but out of the way. The seat backs are high enough for comfortable lounging, and the forward end of the cockpit is neatly shaped to be comfortable for nestling under the dodger with a good book, as Jean did a good part of our trip to Cuttyhunk.One benefit of a center cockpit arrangement is a large afterdeck, where Oyster has built seats in the stern pushpits. These are excellent places for relaxing and chatting with friends. Underfoot on the afterdeck is a huge lazarette where you can store lines, fenders and toys. And, the stern swim platform is large enough for two to stand and shower after a day in the water.The raised deck saloon design creates a huge area amidships that has a curved dinette to port and a bench settee to starboard. The dinette’s table folds out to reach the settee so you can seat at least five comfortably. The chart table is to port and down one step, with enough surface area to spread out a chart and ample cabinet area for mounting electronics and radios. Just aft of the chart table, a door leads to the master head and shower, which can double as a wet locker for foul weather gear.

BWS THOUGHTS I have visited the Oyster plants in England and seen how the builders craft these yachts. The boats are built to the highest standard, designed to sail well and be great floating homes.More than that, an Oyster is built to cross oceans even if her owners are not. The hulls and decks are constructed to withstand whatever the sea throws at them. The rigs are conservatively set up and fitted with the best equipment so they will meet rising winds safely and carry a press of sail when necessary. The engineering and electrical systems are installed with exacting attention to detail and in the knowledge that the marine environment can be unforgiving on all things mechanical; everything is labeled and protected from the environment.

Oyster 46 (Humphreys)

Oyster 46 (Humphreys) is a 46 ′ 9 ″ / 14.3 m monohull sailboat designed by Rob Humphreys and built by Landamores Yacht Builders and Oyster Marine starting in 2007.

Rig and Sails

Auxilary power, accomodations, calculations.

The theoretical maximum speed that a displacement hull can move efficiently through the water is determined by it's waterline length and displacement. It may be unable to reach this speed if the boat is underpowered or heavily loaded, though it may exceed this speed given enough power. Read more.

Classic hull speed formula:

Hull Speed = 1.34 x √LWL

Max Speed/Length ratio = 8.26 ÷ Displacement/Length ratio .311 Hull Speed = Max Speed/Length ratio x √LWL

Sail Area / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the power of the sails relative to the weight of the boat. The higher the number, the higher the performance, but the harder the boat will be to handle. This ratio is a "non-dimensional" value that facilitates comparisons between boats of different types and sizes. Read more.

SA/D = SA ÷ (D ÷ 64) 2/3

• SA : Sail area in square feet, derived by adding the mainsail area to 100% of the foretriangle area (the lateral area above the deck between the mast and the forestay).
• D : Displacement in pounds.

Ballast / Displacement Ratio

A measure of the stability of a boat's hull that suggests how well a monohull will stand up to its sails. The ballast displacement ratio indicates how much of the weight of a boat is placed for maximum stability against capsizing and is an indicator of stiffness and resistance to capsize.

Ballast / Displacement * 100

Displacement / Length Ratio

A measure of the weight of the boat relative to it's length at the waterline. The higher a boat’s D/L ratio, the more easily it will carry a load and the more comfortable its motion will be. The lower a boat's ratio is, the less power it takes to drive the boat to its nominal hull speed or beyond. Read more.

D/L = (D ÷ 2240) ÷ (0.01 x LWL)³

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds.
• LWL: Waterline length in feet

Comfort Ratio

This ratio assess how quickly and abruptly a boat’s hull reacts to waves in a significant seaway, these being the elements of a boat’s motion most likely to cause seasickness. Read more.

Comfort ratio = D ÷ (.65 x (.7 LWL + .3 LOA) x Beam 1.33 )

• D: Displacement of the boat in pounds
• LOA: Length overall in feet
• Beam: Width of boat at the widest point in feet

Capsize Screening Formula

This formula attempts to indicate whether a given boat might be too wide and light to readily right itself after being overturned in extreme conditions. Read more.

CSV = Beam ÷ ³√(D / 64)

Draft (shoal) 5.75’/1.75m

Clabbie Dubh was the first of the new generation of Rob Humphrey designed yachts built by Oyster Marine Ltd.

The Rob Humphreys-designed replacement for the Oyster 45/47, the 46 carries her beam aft, enhancing downwind stability and permitting a much larger owner’s stateroom. Her longer waterline, wider beam and bigger rig add up to a significant improvement in performance. Volvo Penta D2-75  (approx 1500hrs) shaft driven with Maxprop.

Her large centre cockpit benefits from the extra beam and lessons learnt from ergonomic studies and years of sailing experience. Good headroom throughout with a three-cabin accommodation layout, which allows six to sleep in comfort, without recourse to the saloon. Twenty-nine 46s were launched between 2005 and 2012, when the design was further tweaked to create the 475. She was built and launched for the owner in June 2005. She had in the region of £200,000 of additional equipment added to her original specification during her build. She has been lightly used in Scotland and the Mediterranian, since her launch.

Clabbie Dubh is set up for short handed sailing, with all controls coming back to the cockpit. While she is big enough to sail oceans and has been built to comply with the requirements in the European Union’s Recreational Craft Directive (EURCD) to meet Design Category A – “Ocean” she is also small enough to have access to most marinas.

Additional, but not exhaustive list of equipment etc. added to the original specification:

Raymarine navigation electronics, including Chart Plotter (with repeater in cockpit), GPS, Radar, AIS receiver. Autopilot. Lifetags. Bowthruster. Electric winches. Davits. Shaft drive ( NOT  saildrive). Feathering Maxprop. Storm jib with removable inner forestay. Cruising Chute. Mastervolt 5Kva generator. Inverter. Battery charger. Water maker. Dive compressor. Bimini. pushpit seats. Additional cupboard and drawer storage. Additional access to Aft Heads from navigation centre, (essential when sailing on passage). Matching wood surround to ports in main saloon. lightweight Rib with 9hp outboard.

Hull And Deck

The Oyster 46 hull and deck is molded in GRP from female molds built by Oyster in their own facility under the designers' supervision, ensuring a fair and accurate finish.

The hull and deck structure are molded in GRP under controlled conditions; laminating is carried out by hand to high standard. Hull and deck moldings are produced using a Lloyd's approved gelcoat and laminating resin. On the hull the gelcoat is a special Isophthalic resin and the outer laminates incorporate a vinylester resin and powder-bound mats.

This combination provides exceptional UV, weathering and water resistance properties.  

Deck Structure

The Oyster 46 deck is designed to the New G5 styling. The modern flowing lines again set new industry standards with sleek looks both outside and in, whilst maintaining the Oyster trademark and reputation for a light and airy Deck Saloon.

Molded in GRP with a balsa core for strength and insulation. In loadbearing areas the core is replaced with premium grade Marine plywood for additional strength. All load-bearing fittings have additional backing plates and or large washers.

The foredeck houses a chain locker accessed via twin, hinged lids, one of which is fitted with a lifting handle and the other with a positive catch. This locker drains directly overboard and has a S.S. U-bolt fitted for attachment of the chain's "bitter" end.

Within the aft deck, to port, is a locker, which will allow the stowage of two 10lb Propane gas cylinders. This locker drains overboard at both high and low levels and has a hinged flush lid.

Central, in the aft deck, is a lazarette locker with a positive closing hatch. This gives access to a full width storage area for the usual equipment that may be carried.  

Hull and Deck Connection

The hull/deck connection is achieved by the deck sitting on a return flange molded into the hull. The hull to deck joint is sealed and glued with a high performance adhesive and secured with S.S. fastenings. The completed joint is covered with a varnished teak cap rail.  

Cockpit Features The cockpit is self-draining through 2 x 2" (50mm) diameter drains fitted with S.S. grilles.  

Deck Finishes Side-decks, aft deck, inboard coach roof panels forward of the mast and aft of the mainsheet track, cockpit seats and sole are all trimmed with laid teak. The teak decking is laid in 2" (48mm) wide (approximately) teak planking, using quarter-sawn planks laid on epoxy glue, with no visible fastenings. Outboard areas of fore and aft coach roofs and the deck saloon roof, are painted with International non-slip deck paint, color White.

The deck saloon is extremely light and airy with seven windows, the forward outboard pair of which open. A feature opening hullport each side allows visual contact with the outside whilst seated and contributes to the great feeling of space and light in the saloon.

The saloon table is designed to form, in its closed position, an occasional table, which is mounted on a very substantial pedestal base. Stowage for wine and spirit bottles is incorporated into the pedestal.

This table has a fold-over upper leaf, which opens onto a removable support strut, to allow both sides of the saloon to be used for seating whilst dining.

Access to the saloon from the companionway is down a removable set of timber steps, which are shaped and fitted with timber grab rails. A vertical drop-down acrylic washboard is installed in a vertical channel, which in turn drains to the bilge. Flush fitting locks enable the washboard to be set at two different heights.

Incorporated into the accommodation are a number of grabrails, including one on the inboard fore-and-aft edge of the saloon tabletop.

The galley features a stainless steel "larder" front-opening refrigerator, aft to port, incorporating fiddled shelves for ease of use. The stove and sinks are set into work surfaces on opposing sides of the galley. This makes for a very practical, sea-going layout that is combined with excellent storage space. The sinks discharge directly overboard, via a pump, through a seacock.

The following features are included:

• All horizontal galley work surfaces are covered with satin finish Avonite. These surfaces incorporate Avonite fiddles.
• Twin stainless steel sinks are fitted to the galley work surface under the cockpit.
• A trashcan is fitted inside a locker door forward of the cooker. A gimballed Force 10 FT63451 stove in stainless steel with 4 burners, grill and oven is fitted, all protected by a flame failure gas cut-off device. The stove incorporates an electronic ignition system.
• An electric solenoid switch for the gas shut-off valve is fitted adjacent to the cooker. Outboard of the cooker is a hullport, which may be opened for added ventilation when at anchor.
• A fiddle rail incorporating a pair of adjustable clamping pan-holders is fitted around the top of the cooker. A harbour lock and cooker crash bar are fitted and the cooker is housed in a moulded GRP surround with radiused corners for ease of cleaning. The standard Oyster Wedgwood bone china crockery is stowed in the locker at the aft end of the port saloon settee. The coolbox is a white moulded GRP laminate with a drain plumbed into the bilge.
• The refrigerator is fitted with removable shelves and has a drain plumbed to the bilge area. An auto-door light operates within the box.
• A Yanmar 4JH4-TE, 4-cylinder, 75Hp (55kW) at 3200rpm, turbocharged diesel engine with an SD50, 2.32:1 Saildrive gearbox.
• The engine is located centrally, under the cockpit and galley sinks. The engine room is insulated with a composite of foam and high-density polymer sound absorbing materials, with an overall panel thickness of approximately 40mm.
• The engine room has a service light installed. An extractor fan is installed and switched at the DC electrical panel. This fan is designed to be used either during sustained running in hot climates and/or to evacuate hot air from the engine space, after the engine has been shut down.
• An automatic fire extinguisher is installed with a remote indicator light
• Cooling water is taken in via the S-Drive strut, obviating the need for a separate seacock. This installation benefits from an extremely low level of noise and vibration transmission to the hull structure. 
• Start and Stop buttons are fitted on the steering pedestal, to avoid having a key in the cockpit. Throttle and gear controls are single lever, Lewmar Morse-type, installed on the starboard side of the pedestal.
• Engine instrumentation is integrated into the Garmin display at helm.
• The engine is fitted with an 80 Amp 12v alternator.
• Type: Inboard
• Fuel Type: Diesel
• Propeller Type: 3 Blade
• Feathering Propeller
• Aft Cabin with Double Centerline Island Berth
• Port Forward Upper and Lower Single Berths
• Traditional V Berth Cabin forward
• Total Cabins: 3
• The aft cabin features a Centerline Island Berth, with a settee and dressing table, a hanging locker, with drawer and locker space. There is a mirror forward of the dressing table seat. Within this cabin there is a bookshelf outboard to port. 
• Twin hullports provide light and ventilation when lying to anchor. From this cabin there is access to the aft toilet and shower. This incorporates a head, washbasin, mirror, stowage lockers and shower area with curtain and a separate shower tray. A hullport, or an overhead portlight in the coaming, may be opened, when not sailing, to ventilate this compartment.
• All sleeping cabin windows have curtains made from fabric from our standard range. Overhead tracks are concealed as part of the headlining system. All berths have new custom foam mattresses and custom fitted sheets.
• Forward accommodation consists of a double cabin with V-berth in the bows, provided with an infill piece and cushion, under-berth stowage, accessed through the berth bottoms, and a hanging locker.
• Aft and to port of this is a twin guest cabin with upper and lower berths, clothes lockers and a hanging locker. Each forward cabin has a mirror installed.
• The two forward cabins share a WC compartment to starboard incorporating a head, washbasin, mirror, stowage lockers and a shower area with curtain.
• The saloon features an L-shaped settee area and table on the port side. To starboard is a two-seater settee. The port settee forms a useful seaberth, when used with the lee-cloth provided. 
• The table features a matching fold-over leaf, supported by a removable strut. This allows both sides of the saloon seating to be used for dining.
• The chart area faces forward at the aft, starboard end of the saloon, allowing the navigator to be comfortable whilst sailing, without intruding into saloon space. The chart table can accommodate several half-folded, full size, Admiralty charts.
• Fuel supply is from a 198 US gallon (750 liter) approximately, GRP tank installed under the port deck saloon sole.
• Tank contents may be checked using a calibrated dipstick (provided) installed within its own access fitting.
• The fuel tank is fitted with a number of Polyvent 9.5" (240mm) diameter removable screw-down inspection covers with 'O' ring seals, to facilitate periodic maintenance.
• A special tool for opening and closing the Polyvent covers is included within the vessel's loose equipment. The tank has its own remote deck filler on the side deck and a breather at the transom.  

Bilge Pumping System

The bilges throughout the vessel are limbered into a deep central bilge sump.

• Electric bilge pump - Jabsco Utility Puppy 3000 - with Hydro Air switch. This pump is rated at 13.2gpm at 10ft total head.
• A 3-position switch is fitted to allow Off/On/Auto operation.
• Whale Gusher 10 MkIII manual bilge pump, operated from the cockpit and fitted with a metal deck plate.
• Each bilge pump is fitted with a Whale type filtered strum box of the appropriate size for that suction line.
• All suction lines can be lifted to enable debris to be cleared  

Greywater System

Each heads compartment is fitted with an electric Whale Gulper pump which is operated by a waterproof rocker switch and evacuates water from the washbasin & shower directly overboard.

The galley sinks discharge with an electric Whale Gulper pump, which is operated by a waterproof rocker switch.  

Freshwater System

Water supply is from a 172 US gallons (650 liter) approximately, GRP tank installed under the starboard deck saloon sole. 

The GRP water tank is coated internally with inert gelcoat, fitted with baffles and provided with Polyvent covers, as per the fuel tank. The tank has a remote deck filler and, as the fuel tank, also has an individual breather at the transom.

Hot water is obtained from an insulated, approximately 11 US gallons (50 liters), tank heated by the engine's heat exchanger. A thermostatically controlled 110v, 1.25kW immersion heater element is installed, to run off AC shore power, when connected.

Electrical System

D.C. Electrical System

• The yacht's DC electrical supply is 12volt. 4 x lithium ion batteries that provide  approximately 460 Amp hours for the domestic supply. 
• Two separate 88 Amp hour (approximately) 12v batteries are devoted to engine and generator starting.
• All batteries are positively secured against inversion in the case of a knockdown. Battery gas escapes via ducting to the exterior.
• Batteries are charged by the engine's 12v/80 Amp alternator via a diode isolator.
• In addition to alternator charging, the batteries can be charged by a 24 Volt Mastervolt 100 amp charger, which feeds from 110v from dockside power or Fisher Panda Mini 8 Generator with approximately 200 hours.
• All electrics are connected to appropriately sized circuit-breakers incorporated into a central, separate DC panel. Spare circuit-breakers are provided to allow a reasonable number of additional electrical, or electronic, options to be fitted.

What we say, broker's comments.

The most successful model ever built, with seventy-five launched between 1998 and 2010, the 56 is a renowned Oyster model sought after by many. Equipped for rapid and comfortable ocean cruising, with many undertaken adventures and proven successes on and off the racecourse. Spacious enough to accommodate guests and even crew in comfort and style, whilst also being small and agile enough to be easily handled by two, the 56 is a fantastic all-rounder.

Sea Mist 2, 56-46, is in her second ownership, and has been lovingly cared for by the current owner since 2016. Equipped with in-mast furling, twin hydraulic furling headsails, spinnaker package, and electric primary and mainsheet winches, everything can be easily handled short-handed from the comfort and safety of the cockpit. Additional extras are in the abundance, making Sea Mist 2 equipped for anything.

Below deck Sea Mist 2 is beautifully finished in American white oak with a stunning contrasting teak sole. Neutral palette tones throughout provide a light, bright and calming interior easily customisable. With seven berths in four cabins, the fourth cabin adaptable as a single berth or handy workshop/storage area, the space is vast and versatile. Fully equipped for extended trips onboard, Sea Mist 2 has a true home from home feel.

Benefitting from a vast amount of investment including a new sail wardrobe, Westerbeake generator, anchor chain, electric cooker, washer/dryer, life raft, AB tender and 15hp outboard in 2016, and updated with new engine and generator batteries, and a new chart plotter in 2022, Sea Mist 2 has many attributes that could make her a fantastic choice for any potential Oyster owner whether considering cruising locally or venturing further afield.

Located in a marina close to Barcelona, early viewing is recommended.
