Oyster yachts are British bluewater cruising yachts designed for long-distance sailing, and their larger rigs often incorporate substantial standing rigging, powered furling or other integrated sail-handling equipment. This section provides model-specific starting points for owners planning rig replacement, maintenance or upgrades. Individual pages include indicative standing-rigging costs plus running-rigging, furler, kicker, winch, mast and boom recommendations where suitable information is available. Oyster specifications can vary with build options and owner-requested equipment, while older boats may have undergone major refits. The exact rig, mast terminals, wire or rod sizes, furling interfaces and stay lengths should therefore be confirmed on the yacht before ordering.
Useful Oyster rigging guides include: Oyster 39, Oyster UFO 34, Oyster 37, Oyster 45, Oyster 485 and Oyster 545. Open a model guide for indicative standing-rigging sizes, replacement costs and equipment recommendations.
