The 56 is Oyster’s most popular model ever; seventy-five were launched between 1998 and 2010, and it is arguably the quintessential Oyster design. During this time the 56 was the undisputed class leader and did more than any other design to establish the 56-59’ (17-18m) size range as perhaps the ideal for owners without crew; large and spacious enough for rapid ocean cruising and to accommodate her crew in safety, comfort and style when living aboard, but also compact enough to be handled by a couple.
This model retained earlier successful Oyster design features; the single skin hull construction with stiffness provided by massive ribs and stringers, keel-stepped mast, and the full-length rudder skeg protecting the entire rudder. This model was the first to benefit from an ergonomically designed cockpit, designed in conjunction with Loughborough University, creating a space which makes relaxing and entertaining a true pleasure, whilst maintaining all the essential qualities you would expect of a serious ocean-going yacht.
Moana is one of the higher specified Oyster 56s with a carbon GTI mast, taller ‘sport’ rig, and numerous recent upgrades and extras, notably updated electronics and instruments, replacement standing and running rigging in 2015, and new teak decks and new Volvo D3 engine in 2018. S
Moana has been meticulously maintained during her most recent ownership and is a fine example of the 56, which has been a great success story.
