Oystercatcher XXXV: Offshore rocketship

• Toby Hodges
• January 29, 2021

Richard Matthews' latest boat Oystercatcher XXXV should be an exceptional racer. The Shaun Carkeek designed rocketship should be faster than a TP52

Combining much of the concept behind Niklas Zennström’s radical Fast40 Ran VII with the experience of Oyster Yachts founder Richard Matthews is bound to result in an exceptional yacht. And so it looks if the first renderings of Oystercatcher XXXV are anything to go by.

Given Matthews’ latest 52ft IRC racer doesn’t have to fit a box rule, designer Shaun Carkeek had plenty of latitude to create the fastest possible 52-footer. As a result this boat is wider, more powerful and significantly faster than a TP52 .

It’s also just as likely to turn heads as Ran VII . Matthews has been deeply involved with this project and has brought his enormous experience to many aspects of the vessel. The first boat out of the mould will be his 35th racing yacht and the builders, Lymington-based Fibre Mechanics, hope it will be the first of a short run of semi-custom boats.

Offshore plans

The design lends itself to either inshore or offshore use, with Oystercatcher XXXV configured for longer offshore races including events like the Rolex Fastnet , the North Sea Race and maybe RORC’s Caribbean 600 .

The boat is fitted with twin rudders that will help to create a very fast reaching machine. It also has water ballast to allow racing with a civilised crew size of 7-8 people. However, an inshore-optimised boat sailing predominantly windward-leeward courses would suit the single-rudder option better.

Construction of Oystercatcher XXXV is of high and intermediate modulus carbon with a Nomex core, plus foam core in the slam area forward. “It’s as extreme as you’d want to go with an offshore boat,” says Geoff Stock, co-founder and director of builder Fibre Mechanics.

This Lymington-based company, which rose from the ashes of the former Green Marine, has already been involved in notable projects, including building the deck and foil boxes for Jérémie Beyou’s IMOCA 60 Charal .

Bare not barren

All too often the stripped out interiors of grand-prix offshore raceboats lack the ergonomics that are needed to create an efficient environment at sea. “Richard doesn’t want to go offshore in a completely basic boat,” says Stock, “He says it just doesn’t work for the crew.” While the interior of Oystercatcher XXXV will still look bare, with a lot of pipe cots and an engine box in the middle, the galley is carefully thought out and there’s a working head, alongside much practical detailing from Matthews himself.

Stock says, apart from the pipe cots, the total weight of the composite interior elements is only 8kg. Matthews’ input goes right down to the angle of the base of the lockers, so kit stays where it should be, even in extreme conditions, and to the design of foot chocks.

Equally, he brought his experience to bear in areas like stowage around the companionway.

The final solution adds no extra weight but makes the whole arrangement more ergonomic. Instead of building a single custom boat, Fibre Mechanics has built female moulds, which will enable further boats to be built at a reduced cost.

“It’s a solid and very powerful platform that a race team can come in and tweak to optimise for their own purposes,” says Stock. Owners of subsequent boats will also be able to benefit hugely from the experience and knowledge that has gone into this first boat.

In addition, amortising the cost of design and the tooling over a number of boats gives a cost saving of around £200,000 compared to a TP52 built and equipped to a similar specification.

Moulding of the hull and deck shell were completed and baked at the end of October 2020 and the boat is expected to be afloat at the end of April 2021. At the time of writing build slots for subsequent examples were still available for the 2021 season.

Specifications: Hull: length 15.85m / 52ft 0in Beam: 4.96m / 16ft 3in • Draught: 3.60m / 11ft 9in Displacement: 6,800kg / 15,000lb Builder: www.fibremechanics.com

Oyster Yachts founder to join board

By David Robinson 2020-01-14T11:57:00+00:00

Richard Matthews makes a comeback

Richard Matthews founded Oyster in 1973

Richard Matthews, founder of the blue-water cruising yacht brand Oyster Yachts, has accepted an invitation from current owner, Richard Hadida, to join the board. In a statement, the UK yacht-builder suggested that this acceptance was “a testament to Matthews’ faith in the future of the company he founded almost 50 years ago, and the direction in which it is heading under Richard Hadida’s ownership.”

Matthews founded Oyster in 1973. The company has since been owned by two private equity businesses before being bought by Hadida in 2018. Matthews continues to be a keen yachtsman whose activities in 2019 included winning the East Coast Offshore Championship and participating in his 23rd Fastnet Race. He is a highly-respected figure in the sailing community, and brings with him a wealth of experience and in-depth knowledge of the marine industry.

Since Hadida purchased Oyster out of administration he has overseen the rebuilding of the brand and restructuring of the business. Oyster enters the new decade with a healthy order book and increasing worldwide demand for its yachts. As a result, the company has vacancies at both its Wroxham and Southampton yards to add to an existing workforce of skilled craftsmen and management, all of whom are deeply committed to the success of Oyster Yachts.

Speaking on Matthews’ appointment, Hadida said: “It is hugely important to me personally that the founder of the brand I hold so close to my heart has given it his seal of approval by joining our board. Having restored the company to its former glory with the support of a fantastic team – from talented craftsmen to dedicated management – this feels like confirmation that Oyster is once again synonymous with quality and excellence, just as it was when Richard founded it back in 1973.”

Matthews commented: “One of the most amazing things about Oyster is the extended ‘family’ of Oyster owners who share my passion for these beautiful yachts. Rejoining Oyster is like coming home. In Richard Hadida, Oyster now has an owner with the resources to take the business forward. Above all his infectious enthusiasm for the brand convinced me that Oyster has a truly exciting future and I look forward to once again being part of it.”

Oyster will present the new Oyster 565 at the Düsseldorf Boat Show from January 18-26 in Hall 16, Stand C58.
