Oyster Yachts, interesting read.

At last a totally un-biased report.....This will no doubt please all the Oyster bashers on this forum.

The childish behaviour of the Oyster management beggars belief... "We will shut the company rather than pay you anything". Don't care if we screw all our workforce as well.

The childish behaviour of the owner " I;m rich enough to waste money on a website just to take a pop at another bunch of rich morons" Don't care about the workforce either.

You're getting a bit paranoid there. Although people are gossiping over the scandal and criticising some actions of the company and those involved I'd expect everybody would rather Oyster were still a going concern.

What's childish about it?

By the way I have nothing against Oyster yachts, Rolex watches or Porsche cars, although I have found that the owners of all these things tend to be a little grating in their attitudes. But then, who ever got rich by being a nice person?

Scolly: tell me what the owner of PSIII did wrong here? He waited till Oyster was already declared dead and wanted to end the at times ludicrous comments on i.e. this forum. I would have done exactly the same if I were him and after being treated like a piece of SH#T.

The only people to blame here, are the management of Oyster. No one else.
 
I wonder if this farrago will make others think twice about paying multiples of a comparable AWB purchase price for low volume, "quality" marques. One significant failure and the builders sink without trace along with warranties and all the other value added paraphenalia.
If I wanted a pimped GRP yacht I'd be far more comfortable with one backed by a company turning out boats in their thousands, rather than low double figures.
Is there a market for BenJenBav's with nice cupboards, lead keels, foam cored hulls and a couple of extra winches or is it the badge that commands the moolah?

Humm suppose the really important message in this scenario is - will the actions stop /prevent any loss of life in the future - if so the loss of Oyster Yachts Company is well deserved, probably ?

Mind you, be interesting to watch for any buyer of Oyster Yachts assets from the Receivers, just might be some of the Old Oyster Yachts crew ?

Really important !!! that sort of attitude is beyond belief.. Does no one get it.... Oyster built a boat with a design fault/structural problem .. obviously this has never happened to any other builder at all anywhere in the world.

It beggars belief that being pleased a company has folded 'Just in case a sinking may have happened' is any sort of snowflake solution
 
Hi there Scolly

Yes I can see you point of view but I would and do disagree with it.

Re Oyster Yachts as a brand; well I am old and knowledgeable enough to believe that when any brand changes hands from the original ownership the brand does not necessarily, for me, carry the same qualities under the new ownership, so should be looked at as an untested item.

NO a keel should not become detached from the hull except perhaps as a direct result of a collision, my Old Experienced Mans view is that the construction and design should not allow that to happen.

If there are any Construction or Design issues arising from a build, then the Company should unequivocally respond in a favorable way and sort the issue out, pronto, and certainly not prevaricate in any way whatsoever, indeed the Post on here gives an indication of the History involved in this case.

Lives are at risk if the Hull is not sound plus fit for purpose, so under any H&S aspect this matter is the only matter to actually matter.
