Oyster 68
3 / 8 - score 53%
The Oyster 68 is a 67.5ft cutter designed by Holman & Pye and built in fiberglass by Oyster Marine since 1990.
The Oyster 68 is a moderate weight sailboat which is a reasonably 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 excellent. There is an excellent water supply range.
This boat has an average score but ranks in the top half. It might be a good tradeoff.
