NEWS ROUNDUP OYST E R 5 6 5 GOES FROM STRENGTH TO STRENGTH We are excited to share with you that the 14th 565 hull has been ordered. The 565 was launched in April 2019, featuring the new Humphreys designed G6 hull. She was received with much interest from her inception and we were thrilled when she won British Yachting Awards’ Bluewater Cruiser of the Year 2019. We are certain that the buzz around her will continue as more Oyster 565 owners join the fleet in the coming months.
