With a hull and deck by long established Oyster designers Holman and Pye the Oyster 42 was the first aft cockpit Oyster for more than a decade. She may be the smallest in the Oyster range but she enjoys the quality of build and fit out you would expect of the larger yachts. This model is rare and sought after as only seven of this type were built and she is hull number 1. A lot of time and effort went into the deck design to ensure a great profile plus a safe deep cockpit without the inconvenience of a bridge deck. Below decks, the layout is very spacious and the joinery detail and cabinet work is to the same high standards as all of her larger sisters in the Oyster range.
The layout allows for a total of 6 berths, including the 2 saloon settees used as sea-berths, together with 2 heads and 2 showers. The forward cabin has a double berth in the bows with storage beneath in drawers. There is also a lovely dressing table withseat, hanging locker and cupboard to starboard and cupboard to port.
The forward heads is en-suite to the fore cabin and located to port. This incorporates a heads, washbasin,
shower with shower curtain, mirror and stowage lockers. The aft heads is located to starboard aft of the chart table and incorporates a heads, washbasin, mirror, stowage lockers, with shower curtain and gauge to indicate level in holding tank.
The saloon features a beautiful central folding leaf table on a pedestal base with L-shaped settee seating to port and a straight settee to starboard. Both settees form useful sea berths.
The chart table area is forward facing to starboard aft of the saloon seating. A large wet-locker can be found aft of the chart table seat.
The galley is located aft of saloon seating to port and incorporates an L-shaped work surface with twin S/S sinks, cooker, front opening refrigerator and ample stowage.
The aft cabin is located to port and is configured with a double berth, a bureau top inboard, a shelf, hanging locker and a cupboard.
