Oyster 72 Shangri-la

SHANGRI-LA is an excellent example of one of Oyster’s most successful designs. She has just completed a Med and Caribbean tour for a family who found her to be a great home for a planned sabbatical. SHANGRI-LA is now offered for sale with children back at school and university. They found the Rob Humphreys hull delivered great performance with re-assuring sea-keeping. Her five-cabin layout allowed each member of the family their own space, the large saloon and centrally located galley provide a convivial and light-flooded area maximising the benefits of the raised saloon of Oyster’s sleek G5 design. Her cockpit and deck areas are spacious and work equally well at anchor or on passage. Her rig is powerful and enjoys the benefits of a carbon rig with head and staysail on Reckman furlers, and a park avenue boom for the fully battened main. Despite the high performance rig she is very manageable illustrated by the fact that during her last voyage – returning from the Caribbean - she was sailed by just the father and son without the need for crew.

MANUFACTURER'S COMMENTS

‘The Oyster 72 was conceived from the outset to blend the live-aboard and seamanlike qualities of a typical Oyster within a design where high performance was of equal or greater priority. Modern composite engineering has produced a hull and deck that are both light and stiff, without compromising the strength, durability and ease of handling for which Oysters are well known.

The Oyster 72 has one of our sleekest deck and cockpit designs ever, with her rolled-edge side decks, transom stairwell and a host of ‘superyacht’ style features’.

‘The GRP hull incorporates a composite High Modulus Carbon Kevlar (HMCK) system. This is a ‘balanced laminate’ that has been designed to give excellent structural properties between the laminate layers. Advantages over standard GRP include weight savings, extra strength and stiffness.

The hull is reinforced with a matrix of structural stringers and floors and specially engineered by High Modulus’.
