The Oyster 37 is a Holman & Pye-designed IOR one-tonner and racer-cruiser, with 40 yachts launched by Oyster between 1978 and 1980. At 11.28 m LOA, the design carries a masthead sloop rig and combines performance-oriented sailing with useful cruising accommodation. This guide uses published dimensions and model-specific assumptions to estimate standing rigging, furler, mast, boom and running-rigging requirements. Original equipment and later upgrades can vary, so confirm wire diameters, terminal types, mast section and furling equipment on the individual yacht before ordering replacement rigging.
