I never get enough of these Oyster boats - my fav is the 495 Matt I liked the way you were talking in the salon as the boat was under way - gave that part a real practical feel for how the sea goes by.
A view from the UK. Having recently retired and entered the world of sailing with a view to winning the lottery....i went, as we all do, to You Tube for info and knowledge. boy what a minefield of fraudsters, wannabees, Narcissists, and the overly tattooed lady, frankly having no idea they are not authentic presenters. You sir and this channel are the ones i have settled on to give me honest, objective reviews. You will show the products shortcomings as well as its advantages. Do please try to get more factory tours and show the particular yachts build quality. Things like why the hull will not de-laminate. Why the keel won't part company half way across the Atlantic. How galvanic corrosion has been eliminated. The yachts engineering redundancy. Yep, do the pretty selling bits too. I am sure many other potential buyers would like this info too. And yes, the595 is my go to yacht should a lottery win appear.
A wonderful Boat… and the palatial saloon looks very comfortable, but I do wonder about how it is to be on passage in heavy weather… Great tour as usual Matt 👌🏻
Beautiful interior, but you can look at most Sailboats, and their layouts are all so similar given a length range. There's only so much room, and it can't be wasted with different but wasteful interiors.
I´m still unsure build quality of Oyster...looks fine but history suggests they cut corners in key areas. As he says familiar formula which is nice interiors but are you confident in thier offshore capabilities...not for me.
