Summary Analysis of the Design Ratios for the Oyster Heritage 37

The Oyster Heritage sailboat has some interesting statistics based on the design ratios provided.

• Starting with the Sail Area/Displacement Ratio (SA/D) , it is a measure of the sail area available relative to the boat's weight. A high SA/D ratio suggests a boat will be faster and have a better light-air performance. A low SA/D ratio suggests the opposite – better performance in heavy air. The Oyster Heritage's SA/D ratio of 16.5 suggests it's somewhat on the lower end. This indicates that the boat might perform better in strong winds and heavier air, but might be slower and less efficient in light-air conditions.
• The Ballast/Displacement ratio (B/D) is used to assess a sailboat’s stability and its stiffness under winds. With a B/D of 41.3, the Oyster Heritage is a relatively sturdy and stable boat, and it should do well under heavy winds.
• The Displacement/Length Ratio (D/L) is a measure of a boat's speed potential. Low D/L ratios (under 200) suggest high speed and better performance. High D/L ratios (over 300) indicate a slower, more comfortable and easy-to-handle cruising yacht. The Oyster Heritage sits at a D/L ratio of 213, which is on the lower side of the scale, indicating a potential for better speed and performance.
• The Comfort Ratio gives an index of a yacht's motion in a seaway, where higher numbers indicate a more comfortable ride. The Comfort Ratio of the Oyster Heritage is 24.9, which is on the lower end, suggesting the ride can be livelier.
• Lastly, the Capsize Screening Formula (CSF) is intended to predict a yacht's suitability for offshore conditions. A number below 2.0 suggests a reasonably safe blue water sailing yacht. For Oyster Heritage, this formula gives us 2.0, suggesting it has an acceptable safety level for offshore sailing.

In summary, the Oyster Heritage sailboat might perform relatively better in strong winds, with good stability and potentially, better speed and performance. But it might have a more lively ride, and just passes the safe level for offshore sailing.

Hello there, Does anyone have any information to share about the Oyster Heritage 37? We are looking for a liveaboard to ultimately take us on some long passages, certainly across the Atlantic, and maybe the Pacific too. We like the layout and specifications of the Heritage 37, and have heard that that they sail well. Can anyone add to that? However, we have also heard that storage is wet, and lockers are leaky, but that later versions were better? Can anyone clarify that this is this true? Is so when did the model change, and how can we identify the differences? Many thanks, Regards  

Well-known member

When planning our great escape, we came across one of these. I was convinced it was the boat. Flew to Scotland with cheque book in hand, went aboard and tried so hard to love it, but it just wasn't right. (For us). The interior is quite cramped and we didn't feel there was enough stowage. In the end we bought a Westerly Corsair and subsequently a Moody 38.  

We also looked at the heritage as we were told how well they sailed and would look after you. Didn't work for us not enough stowage, layout a bit cramped so we bought a Westerly Corsair. Not sailed very far yet but should do an atlantic circuit easily enough, will have to see next year if I was right!

Thanks!  

Excellent boat of the older school. I knew one years ago, the owner part exchanged it for a Beneteau which he always thought was slower and he never got on with. The last owner of my present boat bought one (pilothouse) and still has it 15 years later, he loves it. I don't remember any problems with wet stowage, surely that could only be cockpit locker seals? I do recall that the prop was offset to one side which made navigation within a marina thought provoking and I didn't like the treadmaster on deck. Apart from that, superbly fitted out, comfortable and quite shallow draft to boot.

My parents have an Oyster Heritage 37, which they bought after a succession of Westerlies (including most recently a Corsair) and when we kids had more or less flown the nest. What you lose in accommodation - it is a small 37 footer by modern standards - you gain in sailing ability, particularly when it gets nasty. They have spent the last two summers cruising the remoter parts of Scotland, and found it ideal for such waters including the passages to the far-off islands, and indeed up the coast from Devon. Having owned a Rustler 31 myself, another Holman & Pye (and another small boat internally for its size), I have to say the Oyster 37 is one of the few more modern boats I have really enjoyed sailing offshore. No slamming etc, feels very solid, and the steering is great as wheel-steered boats go (a tiller's still nicer!). The motion is gentle and my mother now admits that she spent most of her time on the Westerlies feeling slightly seasick (and doesn't on the Oyster). What you don't get is palatial aft cabin(s) - more a large quarter berth, although it can be closed off - or two heads compartments etc that would be typical of today's wider-sterned designs. However the main saloon is very comfortable and the one heads compartment a good size, much better than for example an S&S Swan 38 (although that is another very fine sailing boat to consider). I would say the boat is ideal for two as a liveaboard cruiser, but not more for any significant length of time.

Fifinav, I have a scanned copy of the Builders brochure including a detailed general arrangement drawing - if you (or anybody else) would like to receive a copy by email, please PM me with your email address. Re other aft cockpit, longish keel cruising yachts, you could perhaps consider a Rustler 36, Challenger 35, Vancouver 36 (two very different types), Rival 36........... there are lots of possible options out there! Although saying that, the Heritage 37 does seem to be a well designed and built vessel. The Owners of Sestina (mentioned above) used to have a Contessa 33, so they are used to (and keen on) performance - I think they were in the 'Racing' class in the latest ARC from the Canaries to St Lucia. And I received an email from them recently, enjoying life in the Grenadines and slowly pottering northwards.

Oyster Heritage There are 3 versions. The early Mk1 which I think were built up to hull no. 15 or so. dististinguishable by the liferaft locker in the cockpit sole. This dissapears on the Mk2, also the Mk2 gains a wider quarter berth and the aft lower chain plate arrangement is slightly different. Plus the engine is slightly lighter and further forward as they have a tendency to being stern heavy. The final version is a hideously ugly pilot house, There's a very expensive German one that has been for sale for eons. I looked at 7 different Heritages before I bought mine. If you would like full chapter and verse as to what to look for please send me a PM. I'm not always on line as we're cruising in the Grenadines!

Wow! Thank you very much to everyone for all your replies, info and brochures. All very much appreciated. We still really like the Oyster Heritage 37, but there is only one on the market at the moment and we would really like to see another, any owners out there thinking of selling?  

Quality Cruising Yacht Hi Fifinav, in case you're still looking, a friend of mine has an Oyster Heritage 37 for sale. You can find the details at http://www.ladyclarinha.com It's an absolute beauty and has been upgraded left, right and centre with all the bells and whistles and he's also had the interior layout altered to make it more spacious and comfortable, so would be perfect for the longer journeys you're considering. The Heritage 37 is a quality cruising yacht and as far as I know he's never had any problems with leaking lockers, storage or anything else for that matter. Good luck!

The original yard was founded by Richard Matthews. The first yacht was a the UFO 34 by Holman and Pye. Beginning in 1980 the deck saloon cruiser became a kind of trademark for the brand and since then, the yard has introduced new designs every year or two by various design firms inluding J&J design, Stephen Jones, Rob Humphries, and Holman & Pye.

Tapas like dishes.  Raw Oysters etc.  We started with some oysters .  Their mignonette sauce (red wine and another, both delicious.)  They had an Oyster Moscow which was raw oyster with creme fraiche and caviar on top with a splash of vodka.  Good to try, but won't need to have them again, vodka completely overwhelmed the taste.  Server was Brice, knowledgable and very attentive.  She explained anything we had questions on.  We had a bunch of smaller dishes to share; started with Ceviche, which i think was the best of them all.  We then had a lump crab crudo, that was good, but really not large enough to share between 3 people.  We had a crabmeat that was served on a piece of sourdough, which was delicious as well.  We had the baked oysters with bacon and parmesan, Yummay.  We had a hot scallop dish, which was also good but overly salted. We had the tartar with the crispy oyster , and that was also slightly salty.  Place was not inexpensive, but they did a beautiful job converting an old bank and the service and food was on par with expense.  Will be back next time i come down.

This is my favorite Charleston experience so far. Loved the selection of oysters , and the presentation. The oyster Moscow was addictive. Somewhere between calling us to confirm the reservation, and the moment we walked in the door, my reservation was cancelled. Still found a spot for us and the overall experience was a winner.

FAAAAANCY! We are ballers on a budget, so we only stopped in for drinks and an appetizer. We ordered 4 drinks, one soup, a dozen oysters , and three Oyster Moscow's. The tab was a little over $100. I ordered the Echo, Echo, which is a gin drink. I loved it! Another in our group ordered a drink that tasted like fall. We were served oysters from four different regions, which were lovely, but we weren't enough of oyster connoisseurs to appreciate them. The Oysters Moscow are served with caviar and Stoli vodka. They were interesting. The soup was delightful! Maybe one day we'll go back and order the three-tier seafood platter as it looked amazing.
