82' Oyster 825 Deck Saloon Sloop

Opportunity - Hull #7 Available (Sept 2017 Delivery)

This is a rare opportunity to take early delivery of Hull #7 of the successful Oyster 825 series which is already in build with a scheduled completion date of September 2017.

The new buyer would essentially take over the payment schedule from the existing owner.

Due to the fact that it is still relatively early in the build process the interior decor can still be customized along with the general arrangement floor plan. Traditional or contemporary interior is available as showcased in the brochure.

The hull has already been completed in a deep Royal Blue color similar to that of her sister ship REINA as shown in the pictures in this brochure.

Available for immediate purchase & inspections of the project are available at the Oyster Yachts Shipyard in South Hampton, UK.

The sleek and stylish new Oyster 825 Deck Saloon is an exciting addition to the range of new yachts launched by Oyster over the last two years. Available in both Deck Saloon and Raised Saloon versions through Oysters Custom and refit in Southampton, the new 825 features Oyster’s latest striking and contemporary styling, first seen with the highly successful Oyster 625. Clear deck lounging areas and larger hullports with ‘Seascape’
windows are among the features of this innovative new breed of Oyster yacht. With clean and easily driven hull lines drawn by Humphreys Yacht Design and detailed styling and engineering developed by the Oyster Design Team, the new Oyster 825 is sure to attract acclaim wherever she goes.

With nearly 15% more internal volume than her predecessor the highly successful Oyster 82 (of which 17 have been built since 2002) the Oyster Design Team has used this extra space to maximize the standard layout of the ensuite owner and guest accommodation in the three double cabins aft, whilst providing a clear separation of space for up to four professional crew to discreetly run the yacht and enable them to provide a ‘six star’ service for the owner and guests. With her large, full width saloon, the feeling of light and space below decks is further enhanced by the state of the art, side sliding glass companionway.

Developing the latest interior styling now seen on the Oyster 625, 725 and 885, and building on the engineering knowledge gained from the Oyster Group’s successful development of the Oyster Superyachts, the new Oyster 825 provides “Superyacht experience” in levels of style and comfort for the owner who still enjoys sailing the yacht
himself with family and friends yet wants the balance of supporting his sailing with professional crew.

The Oyster 825 is a powerful yacht that can eat up 250 miles per day on long passages without drawing breath. From every angle she is refined and elegant. Just as at home safely exploring the world’s oceans as cruising the Costa Smeralda, the Oyster 825 is designed for the owner who seeks adventure and performance but with the peace of mind of safety and every comfort to hand. The spacious, ergonomically planned cockpit comfortably and safely separates guests from sail handling, whilst the huge areas of flush deck, both forward and aft, provide the perfect spot for sunbathing and entertaining.

Offered in different layouts of a standard hull and 2 deck moulds - deck saloon and raised saloon versions, the Oyster Yachts custom team in Southampton will build a very personal yacht for each client.

The Oyster 825 hull is a composite construction of Fiber Reinforced Plastics (FRP) and sandwich materials, molded in female tooling which has been developed by Oyster. Close supervision by the Oyster Design Team ensures a smooth, accurate and fair finish. The FRP lay-up specification is calculated to meet & exceed the Det Norske Veritas (DNV) rules for light and high speed aircraft scantlings.

Hull #7 has already been completed (see picture featured in the brochure) in a deep Royal Blue which has reduced the build time versus a new build by 6 months.

The hull is molded using vinylester resign with the whole hull finished in a special NPG gelcoast. The NPG has excellent UV resistance and waterproofing qualities, suitable for use in tropical environments. Vinylester resin is utilized for its impermeable properties and forms a strong matrix for the fibres.

The laminate material comprises of a combination of E glass, kevlar and carbon fiber specially designed for the yacht by Oyster's structural engineers. The custom laminate of different fibers offers significant weight savings, strength and stiffness advantages over a normal Glass Reinforced Plastic (GRP) construction. Carbon lowers weight for more stiffness whilst kevlar improves impact resistance.

The topside laminate has a high-tech foam cored, E glass/carbon sandwich above the waterline, for additional strength, stiffness and insulation. A vacuum bagging technique is used to insure overall bonding of the sandwich laminate whilst the resins are curing.

Beneath the waterline the hull features a monolithic (single skin) composite laminate with an aramid/kevlar layer, reinforced with a web of stringers and floors. Combined with an arrangement of BS1088 standard marine-ply and glass/carbon/foam structural bulkheads, this produces a robust structure with excellent strength to weight qualities and a proven longevity.

Limber holes and tubes are installed at appropriate points. Stringers, bulkheads-landings and floors are formed over inert polyurethane foam.

The cockpit is split into separate guest and steering/crew areas. 

The main companionway features a large custom-made horizontal sliding, smoked grey acrylic hatchway creating a large area of window, adding light and sense of space to the saloon. The sliding mechanism is electrically powered by a 24V DC motor. The door has an inflatable seal for use while at sea.

The guest cockpit is over 3m long and self-draining through six cockpit drains. There is a clear walkway giving excellent access from the companionway to the helm positions and side decks.

The cockpit has a varnished teak-topped table. The table houses a refrigerated cool box. The table is provided with an acrylic canvas cover incorporating mesh storage pockets.

At the cockpit the helm seats are GRP molded backrests.

The helm positions have twin custom GRP steering pedestals incorporating the standard controls and instruments with room for additional equipment if required. Each pedestal has a flush-mounted SIRS Marine Major 150mm diameter magnetic steering compass with internal lighting and a substantial stainless steel grab rail around the pedestal. The pedestal tops are hinged allowing them to be opened for access to equipment and steering gear.

Pedestal switching is backlit with a dimmer control for night time use. Engine stop/start and instruments are located on the port pedestal top, with deck lighting functions and sail handling controls on the starboard pedestal. Engine throttle and gear box control are via an electronic lever control, the bow thruster via joystick control, both on the port pedestal. At the port pedestal there are stop/start controls for the main generator, which power the bow thruster. On the underside of the starboard pedestal is a conspicuous emergency stop button which kills the power to the hydraulic sail handling and deck functions. 

Aft of the helm positions is clear flat deck area with two deck hatches for access to the aft cabin. An emergency access ladder is provided stowed int he aft cabin.

Below five cockpit seats there are lockers with lids positively fastened by lockable stainless steel catches. Below each helmsman's seat is a shallow locker. At each steering position the deck surface is angled to provide a surface to stand on when the yacht is heeling.

The stern is built with a flap-down transom that is raised & lowered by hydraulic rams powered via the Lewmar Commander giving a pleasing open platform (2.1m wide by 2.2m long) for boarding a tender or for water sports. The platform surface is finished with teak decking and has a pop up cleat at each aft corner. A stainless steel stairway with teak treads deploys automatically when the platform is lowered. A demountable stainless steel bathing ladder with oval treads is provided with stowage inside the lazarette. Two demountable stainless steel rube dingy bump bars are provided.

There is a hot & cold freshwater deck shower located within the transom.

The vessel is fitted with a stylish curved roof to the main saloon deckhouse which combined with recessed windows lowers the apparent outboard profile of the deck saloon. The sprayhood hoops fold neatly into a recessed trough. Forward of this white non-slip deck paint is applied to the central area. A pair of stainless steel grabrails are fitted ont o each edge side.

The areas either side of the main companionway have open top shallow stowage troughs and wedge blisters for cockpit sailing instruments.
