Oyster 545 is a substantial British sailing yacht, with our model data recording a masthead sloop rig, 16.43 m LOA and introduced in 2015. At this size, standing-rigging replacement is best approached as a complete system rather than by assuming individual stays from a generic model schedule. The yacht should be checked for stay count, material and diameter, upper and lower terminal types, chainplate pins, rigging-screw threads and any hydraulic or furling interfaces. Mast and forestay equipment can vary between examples after refits, so final dimensions and connection details should be confirmed from the existing rig before manufacture.
