Oyster 56

9 / 27 - score 58%

The Oyster 56 is a 57.33ft cutter designed by Rob Humphreys and built in fiberglass by Oyster Marine since 1996.

The Oyster 56 is a moderate weight sailboat which is slightly under powered. It is reasonably stable / 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 a good water supply range.

This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
