This impressive yacht was Oyster Marine's first build over 60 feet and was their showpiece in 1989. Designed to cruise remote locations like Antarctica, the former engineer who commissioned her specified top-of-the-line gear and redundancy, (like Reckmann hydraulic furling, a retractable hydraulic bow thruster, below waterline foam insulation, two gensets and twin Mercedes diesels). She rounded Cape Horn on her maiden voyage to her first home port in Chile and has been continuously maintained and upgraded. Freshwater sailed and dry-stored indoors for the past few winter seasons, she recently voyaged the 3000 miles from Chicago to Florida via the St. Lawrence Seaway and is ready to go anywhere.

Hull
This vessel is unique in that it has over one inch of foam insulation on the inside of the hull from the waterline down. This is unique to hull #1 for travel to Antarctica. This makes the hull noticeably quieter, warmer in cold water and cooler in hot climates. This at-the-waterline insulation can be seen at a point in the wet locker, just aft of the navigation station, where the thickness of the insulation is visible.
