Oyster 55
3 / 7 - score 44%
The Oyster 55 is a 56.25ft cutter designed by Holman & Pyle and built in fiberglass by Oyster Marine since 1986.
55 units have been built.
The Oyster 55 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a good performer. It is not stiff and has an excellent righting capability if capsized. It is best suited as a heavy bluewater cruising boat. The fuel capacity is good. There is an excellent water supply range.
Despite its low score, this boat is ranked in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
