Oyster 485
4 / 16 - score 58%
The Oyster 485 is a 48.5ft cutter designed by Homann & Pyle and built in fiberglass by Oyster Marine since 1994.
The Oyster 485 is a heavy sailboat which is under powered. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top quarter. It seems difficult to do much better. It is one of the best possible tradeoff for this request.
