A fabulous Oyster 575 sailing boat.

Very nice boat. My dream boat is an Oyster 60 or bigger. My only gripe with it is that it is not aluminum constructed, but realistically I don't see myself sailing somewhere where it would be needed and.... I can't currently afford one lol.

I like how the helm stations are inboard, not a fan of when they are right next to the transom

[iKvetch]

Um, Nick...about those solar panels...
...which were not actually on the boat you were looking at? LOL
We all have those days...no worries, mate! 😁😁😁

[seanogden]

She's a beauty and is ageing gracefully. Love the interior and wood colour. I think the laws of physics don't apply to yachts as she looks 4x bigger on the inside than she looks from outside !!. Lovely tour Nick thank you.

I was also going to say about the solar panels but on review Nick didn't say they were attached to the Oyster, just that they are a good idea. Nice sail boat and with the power winches and sails very easy for someone with a disability (like arthritis etc) to sail her . Thanks Nick.

[iKvetch]

But wait...are we sure that the manufacturer has not overstated the performance of the engine? It is a VW diesel, after all. LOL
Sorry, I could not resist...I will show myself out. 😂😂😂

[perimeland]

To which boat are those solar panels attached?

[dilligafwoftam]

The owner may have told you she was only in the Caribbean, but Cruising the Coral Coast (Lucas) at the nav station is a pilot for the Great Barrier Reef (Queensland, Australia). She's done a lap of the block.⛵🤓🇦🇺

[Anton-Kant]

solar panels are a good idea but not when they are on the other boat
lol

[BuddhaAfterDark]

Why are Oyseters twice as well designed as boats four times their size??? would love one of these! :D

[mytube]

One of the most practically and sensibly laid out sailboats internally, that I've seen. No gimmicky stuff. Shared heads between cabins instead of wasting space with en suite for every cabin.
For long-distance cruising, I would've converted the small aft cabin into a workshop space with tools, spare parts, bench with a vice and perhaps a sewing machine, and stuff like that. And the bunk-bed cabin on the port side would be converted to storage, perhaps with an extra fridge/freezer unit.

The way your explain various features of the boat is remarkable. Thanks! Is this suitable for circumnavigation for all seas and oceans? Please do reply me.

[MichealForsyth-nv]

Wow it looks they didn't take her good care of her. 700k seems a little high

[godlyobject]

0:37 It took me a second to realize that the solar panels were actually attached to the other boat.
Also nice to see Jay Leno expanding to boats now, haha.

Twelve years ago, 2010 - there was the Haiti earthquake, the UK economy came out of another recession, Chile also had an earthquake, there was the eruption of Mt. Eyjafjallajokull that spewed ash everywhere, BP had a major oil spill (not that one, another one) and David Cameron became the UK prime minister. Yikes, those were the "good old days" (?). I do believe this World traveled boat has faired its journey through time in much better stead than most of us humans. I'm exhausted at the thought of it - Thanks for the tour, Nick.

[trentstoner]

I'm really coming round to sailboats, it's the unlimited range and opportunity to explore the world. This was a very elegant boat indeed

[appstratum]

Nice boat. But boy have Oysters come on in terms of execution since this.

[swisswildpicsswp]

I really like that it has 4 cabins. Often, boats this size only have 3 cabins and 2 or 3 heads for some reason.
But you're ALWAYS more comfortable having your own cabin, even if it's small.
I always find that it's a shame having a 60 foot boat and not being able to invite 4 people to stay or travel with you.

[gordonsimpson]

Lovely.
Oysters are another class above most yachts...a bit like Swan.
Always beautiful understated classic looks and built to last. You wouldn't
know this boat is 12 years old!
Quality always shows.

[futte]

This is the reason for sailing around the world.
I get to dream of the great adventure of distant shores, small palm islands, crossing the equator and sailing south.
It remains a dream, but what a wonderful yacht.
They have thought about the decor here, nothing is placed randomly.
Great video Nick.
